More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.
Nelson Mandela
The best weapon is to sit down and talk.
Nelson Mandela
I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was intrigued by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match.
Nelson Mandela
The very right to be human is denied every day to hundreds of millions of people as a result of poverty, the unavailability of basic necessities such as food, jobs, water and shelter, education, health care and a healthy environment.
Nelson Mandela
The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Nelson Mandela
Disasters will always come and go, leaving their victims either completely broken or steeled and seasoned and better able to face the next crop of challenges that may occur.
Nelson Mandela
The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.
Nelson Mandela
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.
Nelson Mandela
Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.
Nelson Mandela
There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.
Nelson Mandela
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
Nelson Mandela
It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.
Nelson Mandela
Individuals get caught up in the policy of their country. In prison, for instance, a warden or officer is not promoted if he doesn't follow the policy of the government - though he himself does not believe in that policy.
Nelson Mandela
The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.
Nelson Mandela
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Nelson Mandela
I've never had a single moment of depression, because I know my cause will triumph.
Nelson Mandela
My family is very large. 42 million.
Nelson Mandela
It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.
Nelson Mandela
