A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
Nelson Mandela
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up
Nelson Mandela
There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.
Nelson Mandela
I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all.
Nelson Mandela
One of the sad realities today is that very few people, especially young people, read books. Unless we can find imaginative ways of addressing this reality, future generations are in danger of losing their history.
Nelson Mandela
