More quotes by 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
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
Nelson Mandela
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.
Nelson Mandela
The call now is for each of us to ask ourselves: are we doing all we can to help build the country of our dreams?
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
I was able to change my life by knowing that if somebody does something good for you, you have to respond.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.
Nelson Mandela
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.
Nelson Mandela
South Africa is the most beautiful place on earth. Admittedly, I am biased but when you combine the natural beauty... and the fact that the region is a haven for Africa's most splendid wildlife... Then I think that we have been blessed with a truly wonderful land.
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
The habit of attending to small things and of appreciating small courtesies is one of the important marks of a good person.
Nelson Mandela
The most difficult matter is not so much to change the world as yourself.
Nelson Mandela
Nothing is black or white.
Nelson Mandela
We recall the joy and excitement of a nation that had found itself, the collective relief that we had stepped out of our restrictive past, and the expectant air of walking into a brighter future.
Nelson Mandela
