Nelson Mandela
Adversity cleanses the lethargies of man
Nelson Mandela
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson Mandela
In many respects, people on the outside suffered more than those of us in jail. In prison, we ate three times a day, we had clothing, we had free medical services, and we could sleep for 12 hours.
Nelson Mandela
You encourage people by seeing the good in them.
Nelson Mandela
Nothing is black or white.
