It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity. Divided we are weak; united, Africa could become one of the greatest forces for good in the world.
Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the depths from which we started.
I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me.
Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind.
Capitalism is a development by refinement from feudalism, just as feudalism is development by refinement from slavery. Capitalism is but the gentlemen’s method of slavery.
As far as i am concerned, i am in the knowledge that death can never extinguish the torch which i have lit in Ghana and Africa. Long after i am dead and gone, the light will continue to burn and be borne aloft, giving light and guidance to all people.
It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else.
Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism. Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa’s impoverishment.
The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart.
We have awakened. We will not sleep anymore. Today, from now on, there is a new African in the world!
All people of African descent, whether they live in North or South America, the Caribbean, or in any part of the world are Africans and belong to the African nation.
The result of neo-colonialism is that foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than for the development of the less developed parts of the world. Investment under neo-colonialism increases rather than decreases the gap between the rich and poor countries of the world.
The independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked-up with the total liberation of the African Continent.
Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.
