More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Our task is not to liberate the oppressed, but to liberate the oppressors
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
It is my deepest conviction that the children should be seen and heard as our most treasured assets.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
A movement without vision would be a movement without moral foundation.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up

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
In the end, reconciliation is a spiritual process, which requires more than just a legal framework. It has to happen in the hearts and minds of people.
Nelson Mandela
I enjoyed the discipline and solitariness of long-distance running, which allowed me to escape from the hurly-burly of school life.
Nelson Mandela
We tried in our simple way to lead our life in a manner that may make a difference to those of others.
Nelson Mandela
There are leaders who know that however furious the debate, there are good men and women in all population groups - amongst blacks, amongst whites, and amongst Afrikaans and English speaking people.
Nelson Mandela
If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace.
Nelson Mandela
