Bob Marley
“I don't stand for black man's side, I don't stand for white man's side, I stand for God's side.”
Bob Marley

W.E.B. Du Bois
Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. He seldom lost his poise; pondered his problems slowly, made his decisions clearly and firmly; never yielded to ostentation nor coyly refrained from holding his rightful place with dignity. He was the son of a serf but stood calmly before the great without hesitation or nerves. But also - and this was the highest proof of his greatness - he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate.

Stalin was not a man of conventional learning; he was much more than that: he was a man who thought deeply, read understandingly and listened to wisdom, no matter whence it came. He was attacked and slandered as few men of power have been; yet he seldom lost his courtesy and balance; nor did he let attack drive him from his convictions nor induce him to surrender positions which he knew were correct.”
W.E.B. Du Bois

“The worker must work for the glory of his handiwork, not simply for pay; the thinker must think for truth, not for fame.”

“Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.”

W.E.B. Du Bois
“One ever feels his twoness, -- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.”
W.E.B. DuBois, The Souls of Black Folk
