More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I admire young people who are concerned with the affairs of their community and nation perhaps because I also became involved in struggle whist I was still at school.
Nelson Mandela
I pay tribute to the endless heroism of youth.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom can never be taken for granted. Each generation must safeguard it and extend it. Your parents and elders sacrificed much so that you should have freedom without suffering what they did. Use this precious right to ensure that the darkness of the past never returns.
Nelson Mandela
The challenge for each one of you is to take up these ideals of tolerance and respect for others and put them to practical use in your schools, your communities and throughout your lives.
Nelson Mandela
Children are the most important asset in a country. For them to become that asset, they must receive education and love from their parents.
Nelson Mandela
I was called a terrorist yesterday... Today I am admired by the very people who said I was one.
Nelson Mandela
You see, when there is danger, a good leader takes the front line. But when there is celebration, a good leader stays in the back room. If you want the cooperation of human beings around you, make them feel that they are important. And you do that by being humble.
Nelson Mandela
By ancestry, I was born to rule.
Nelson Mandela
I realized that they could take everything from me except my mind and my heart. They could not take those things. Those things I still had control over. And I decided not to give them away.
Nelson Mandela
If you don't allow people to contribute, to offer their point of view, or to criticize what has been put before them, then they can never like you. And you can never build that instrument of collective leadership.
Nelson Mandela
Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?
Nelson Mandela
Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.
Nelson Mandela
Our society needs to re-establish a culture of caring.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom alone is not enough without light to read at night, without time or access to water to irrigate your farm, without the ability to catch fish to feed your family.
Nelson Mandela
I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.
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
The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad story.
Nelson Mandela
AIDS is our number one enemy. This enemy can be defeated. While the research for a cure continues, four principles -- love, support, acceptance and care for those affected -- can make us winners.
Nelson Mandela
There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing more important in life than giving. Tolerance is forged when people look beyond their own desires
Nelson Mandela
