“...Nature first made us what we are, And then out of our own "created" genius,
We make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law.
Let the sky be our limit, And eternity our measurement.”
Marcus Mosiah
Garvey Jr.
"We must become members of a new race,
Overcoming petty prejudice,
Owing our ultimate allegiance,
Not to nations,
But to our fellow men within the human community."
In The Words Of Haile Selassie I
"Knowing that material and spiritual progress are essential to man,
We must ceaselessly work for the equal attainment of both.
Only then shall we be able to acquire that absolute inner-calm,
So necessary to our well-being. Whenever conflict arises between material and spiritual values,
The conscience plays an important role and anyone who suffers from a guilty conscience
Is never really free from this problem until he makes peace with himself and his conscience.
Discipline of the mind is a basic ingredient of genuine morality
And therefore of spiritual strength. Spiritual power is the eternal guide,
In this life and the life after, For man ranks supreme among all creatures..."
In the words of Haile Selassie I
"Today, The women of the world are not content,
Only to live as housewives. In most countries they are striving harder,
And harder for higher education, So that they may participate In the civic duties of their community and nation.
In time of war, Women, Like men,
Have served their country and in some of them have fought,
Side by side with the men, Against the enemy."
"Obviously war is one of the major problems,
Which bring disaster on the life of mankind.
Inspite of the differences of color,
Race, creed or religion between women in this world,
They all hate war,
Because the fruit of wars is nothing but disaster.
War exterminates their beloved husbands,
Their brothers and their children.
It destroys and eliminates their families.
We would like to bring to the attention,
Of all women of the world that it is their duty,
To voice and express solidarity against such acts."

Empress Menem Asfaw,
Married the regent Ras Tafari in 1911.
Early in his reign,
An army revolt broke out and he was taken hostage.
She commandeered a tank,
And drove it herself trough the garrison's gate,
To free her husband.
Nanny
Nanny of the Maroons was born in Ghana,
And folk history says that she came to Jamaica,
With the express purpose of becoming
A high priestess and leader of her people,
Never having been a slave.
She led the eastern Maroons based in Moreton,
and forged an alliance with another group led by Cudjoe.
(The name Maroons comes from the Spanish cimarron,
meaning "gone back to the wild.")
"If you the men of Ashanti will not go forward,
Then we will. We the women will.
I shall call upon you my fellow women.
We will fight the white men.
We will fight until the last of us falls in the battlefield."

Ashanti Queen
Of Ghana
“Life is one big road with lots of signs.
So when you riding through the ruts,
Don't complicate your mind.
Flee from hate mischief and jealousy.
Don't bury your thoughts,
Put your vision to reality.
Wake Up and Live!”

"...By reasoning you may sharpen my mind because,
There are things that you know that I don't know.
There are things that I may know that you don't know.
Each of us is both a student and a teacher.
The earth is a classroom,
And we can learn from each other as we meet.
Once we can come with that acknowledgement,
That's a great form of understanding because,
Understanding is what we have to use to learn.
Be a great listener and be humble,
And then we can learn from each other.
But if we can't be humble,
We can't learn because we weren't listening to each other..."

Nyabinghi
Seven Rastafarian Kingciples
The Nyabinghi is heard here,
raising the power of Earth to the sky.
Through rhythmic beats on the heavy bass drum,
you can feel the earth's very center-
and the rhythms forming above the bass,
from smaller drums,
carry the Rasta cry of freedom,
and dignity into sky above,
lit with stars so bright,
they seem to point the way to eternity.
..
"Rastafari means to live in nature,
To see the Creator in the wind, sea and storm.
Other religions pointed to the sky,
And while we were looking in the sky,
They dug up all the gold and diamonds,
And went away with them"
Jimmy Cliff
"...There have always emerged leaders who became "GODS" AND "MESSIAHS". Their exalted status of honor and worship has been in most cases A RESPONSE TO THE SHEEP MENTALITY’S NEED FOR SOMEONE TO WORSHIP. In their SHEEP MENTALITY the people yearn for someone who will be SUPER-MAN, someone who will miraculously do all that they themselves fear to do or fail to do. This IRRESPONSIBLE condition opens the door wide for THOSE THAT CRAVE WORSHIP, and a circle of RELIGIOUS FANATICISM evolves to become an obstacle in the path of that liberation which both leader and follower claim to be pursuing..."
Ras Jahaziel
LIVE AT EARTH DAY!!
"A qualified man with vision,
unmoved by daily selfish interests,
will be led to right decisions
by his conscience.
In general,
a man who knows
from whence he comes
and where he is going
will co-operate with his fellow
human beings.
He will not be satisfied
with merely doing
his ordinary duties
but will inspire others
by his good example."

The partner who places his own short-range ambitions ahead of the long-range interests of the partnership has embarked on a course which will ultimately result in the dissolution of the partnership itself.
