Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.

W. E. B. Du Bois
Life, Hope, Believe
Last message (written 26 June, 1957) read at his funeral, 1963, in Journal of Negro History Apr. 1964

The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this - with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need - this life is hell.

W. E. B. Du Bois
Life, Work, Bores You
W. E. B. Du Bois' address to his newborn great-grandson on his ninetieth birthday, 1958.

One thing alone I charge you. As you live, believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. The only possible death is to lose belief in this truth simply because the great end comes slowly, because time is long.

W. E. B. Du Bois
Life, Believe, Long
