More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Why is it that in this courtroom I face a white magistrate, am confronted by a white prosecutor and escorted into the dock by a white orderly? Can anyone honestly and seriously suggest that in this type of atmosphere the scales of justice are evenly balanced?
Nelson Mandela
I've never had a single moment of depression, because I know my cause will triumph.
Nelson Mandela
Good men and women can be mobilized to ensure that South Africa is united and that the spirit of reconciliation is strengthened and that progress in this country takes place as fast as it can.
Nelson Mandela
South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.
Nelson Mandela
As the years progress one increasingly realises the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 90-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the centre of the values by which you live.
Nelson Mandela
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Nelson Mandela
Men come and men go, I have come and I will go when my time comes
Nelson Mandela
We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.
Nelson Mandela
We understand and promote the notion that while children need to be guided they also have an entrenched right to be whatever they want to be and that they can achieve this only if they are given the space to dream and live out their dreams.
Nelson Mandela
Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.
Nelson Mandela
I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.
Nelson Mandela
Abject poverty is demeaning, is an assault on the dignity of those that suffer it. In the end it demeans us all. It makes the freedom of all of us less meaningful.
Nelson Mandela
If you are stimulated by what you do, you never get tired
Nelson Mandela
I have retired, but if there's anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.
Nelson Mandela
People tend to measure themselves by external accomplishments, but jail allows a person to focus on internal ones such as honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, generosity and an absence of variety. You learn to look into yourself.
Nelson Mandela
The virtue and the strength of UWC is that it provides small, but powerful cells of innovation, catalysts for change, breaking barriers of habit and opening broader vistas of experience for both pupils and educationalists.
Nelson Mandela
When I went to jail, I was a trained lawyer. And when the wardens received letters of demands or summonses, they didn't have the resources to go to an attorney to help them. I would help them settle their cases, so they became attached to me and the other prisoners.
Nelson Mandela
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
Nelson Mandela
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
Nelson Mandela
