The death sentence is a barbaric act . . . It is a reflection of the animal instinct still in human beings.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.
Nelson Mandela
Image
If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
Nelson Mandela
