"God and 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 and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement"
- Marcus Garvey
About this Quote
This quote by Marcus Garvey recommends that our natural qualities, as created by God and nature, determine our fundamental identity. Nevertheless, through our own efforts and skills, we have the power to shape our own fate and become whatever we want. Garvey motivates us to strive to be the best version of ourselves and not to restrict our potential, with the ultimate objective of accomplishing success that extends beyond our earthly existence.
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
