More quotes by Nelson Mandela
A free press is one of the pillars of democracy.
Nelson Mandela
I pay tribute to the endless heroism of youth.
Nelson Mandela
I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.
Nelson Mandela
I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.
Nelson Mandela
You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.
Nelson Mandela
The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.
Nelson Mandela
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
Nelson Mandela
We have introduced equity into our life, including a uniform educational system. We have also introduced a Bill of Rights, which is not just a piece of paper, but a living document because we have created structures that are totally independent of the government and that can overrule the government, even the president.
Nelson Mandela
Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Nelson Mandela
The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Nelson Mandela
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.
Nelson Mandela
The best weapon is to sit down and talk.
Nelson Mandela
The time comes in the life of any nation when there remains only two choices - submit or fight.
Nelson Mandela
A real leader uses every issue, no matter how serious and sensitive, to ensure that at the end of the debate we should emerge stronger and more united than ever before.
Nelson Mandela
We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.
Nelson Mandela
I am confident that nobody... will accuse me of selfishness if I ask to spend time, while I am still in good health, with my family, my friends and also with myself.
Nelson Mandela
Isimangaliso must be the only place on the globe where the oldest land mammal (rhinoceros) and the world biggest terrestrial mammal (elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (whale)
Nelson Mandela
When we can sit in the face of insanity or dislikes and be free from the need to make it different, then we are free.
Nelson Mandela
There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Nelson Mandela
