MAY THE ANCESTORS BE PLEASED

destiny

Do not set your heart upon seeking material wealth

For there is none who can ignore destiny and fortunes

Do not set your thoughts on external matters

for every person there is an appointed time...

Do not exert yourself to seek out excess

And your wealth will prosper for you

If riches come to you by theft

They will not always spend the night with you

As soon as the dawn breaks,

they will not be there

Although their places can be seen,

they are not there...

Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey

"If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated
in the race of life. With confidence, you have
won even before you have started."
Marcus Mosiah Garvey

Your Duty To-morrow

WITH GOD'S GRACE-

Look back and help for humanity's sake.

Measure your charity by the acts of others toward you

while you were climbing.
Forget not the past with all its good and ill reports.

Contemplate your future by the experiences you have had,

If you must strike to live, strike hard and sure.

Hon. MARCUS GARVEY
