Marcus Garvey – Never Stop Learning

Histoire du Motif

Extract from : Lesson 1 – Intelligence, Education, Universal Knowledge and How to Get It / Message to the People – The Course of African Philosophy by Marcus Garvey.

‘You must never stop learning. Read and study. One must never stop reading. Read everything that you can read. It is necessary to read for the purpose of getting information on human nature. You should also read the best poetry for inspiration. From a good line of poetry, you may get the inspiration for the career of a life time.

Read history incessantly until you master it. This means your own national history, the history of the world, social history, industrial history, and the history of the different sciences. But primarily, the history of man. You can only make the best out of life by knowing and understanding. NEVER GO DOWN IN INTELLIGENCE to those who are below you, but if possible help to lift them up. And never give up until you reach the objective. Use your faculties and persuasion to achieve all you set your mind on. No one is ever too old to learn. Therefore, Get knowledge, get it quickly, get it studiously, but get it anyway. Knowledge is power. All the knowledge you want is in the world, and all that you have to do is to go seeking it and never stop until you have found it.’
