Nelson Mandela
When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.

Now we are in the second term of the government of a united nation and the government has done very well. One thing they have done, one thing people could not be blind to, was the achievement this government has made in giving human beings dignity, which they did not enjoy before. They now have dignity.
Nelson Mandela
