There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship. Many people will appear to befriend you when you are wealthy, but precious few will do the same when you are poor. If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent. Yet, poverty often brings out the true generosity in others.

Courage is not the absence of fear — it s inspiring others to move beyond it.
Nelson Mandela
Image
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
Image
Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.

South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.
Nelson Mandela

In my younger days, I was arrogant - jail helped me to get rid of it. I did nothing but make enemies because of my arrogance.
