Image
I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.
Nelson Mandela
Image
South Africans have no concept of time and this is also why we can't solve poverty and social problems… It's now 10 years since the fall of the Apartheid government and we cannot blame Apartheid for being tardy.
Nelson Mandela
Image
To a freedom fighter hope is what a lifebelt is to a swimmer - a guarantee that one will keep afloat and free from danger.
Nelson Mandela
Image
The authorities liked to say that we received a balanced diet it was indeed balanced - between the unpalatable and the inedible.
Nelson Mandela
Image
There must be an end to white monopoly on political power, and a fundamental restructuring of our political and economic systems to ensure that the inequalities of apartheid are addressed and our society thoroughly democratized.
Nelson Mandela
Image
In the 21st Century, the capacity to communicate will almost certainly be a key human right.
Nelson Mandela

I have always endeavoured to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion.
Nelson Mandela
Image
It always seems impossible until its done.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I came to accept that I have no right whatsoever to judge others in terms of my own customs, however much I may be proud of such customs.
Nelson Mandela
Image
As long as many of our people still live in utter poverty, as long as children still live under plastic covers, as long as many of our people are still without jobs, no South African should rest and wallow in the joy of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
Image
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Home is home even for those who aspire to serve wider interests and who have established their home of choice in distant regions.
Nelson Mandela
Image
We cannot blame other people for our troubles. We are not victims of the influx of foreign people into South Africa. We must remember that it was mainly due to the aggressive and hostile policies of the apartheid regime that the economic development of our neighbours was undermined.
Nelson Mandela
Image
There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.
Nelson Mandela
Image
We don't have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness.
Nelson Mandela
Image
We have introduced a rule of law. That never existed for centuries in this country [South Africa], especially under the apartheid regime, when the law was reduced into disrepute.
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
I like a leader who can, while pointing out a mistake, bring up the good things the other person has done. If you do that, then the person sees that you have a complete picture of him. There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.
Nelson Mandela
Image
You encourage people by seeing the good in them.
