Certainly! Here are some quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois:
”The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.”
”Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow.”
”Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.”
”There is in this world no such force as the force of a person determined to rise. The human soul cannot be permanently chained.”
”Education is that whole system of human training within and without the schoolhouse walls, which molds and develops men.”
”Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.”
”The worker must work for the glory of his handiwork, not simply for pay; the thinker must think for truth, not for fame.”
”A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
”Either the United States will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.”
”The function of the university is not simply to teach bread-winning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools or to be a centre of polite society; it is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, an adjustment which forms the secret of civilization.”
These quotes encapsulate W.E.B. Du Bois’s perspectives on education, social justice, racial equality, and the importance of personal determination and progress.
