More quotes by Nelson Mandela
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
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
I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.
Nelson Mandela
There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal trimuph if you have the iron will and the neccessary skill.
Nelson Mandela
We have introduced equity into our life, including a uniform educational system.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
As the years progress one increasingly realises the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 90-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the centre of the values by which you live.
Nelson Mandela
Isimangaliso must be the only place on the globe where the oldest land mammal (rhinoceros) and the world biggest terrestrial mammal (elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (whale)
Nelson Mandela
It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.
Nelson Mandela
The death sentence is a barbaric act.
Nelson Mandela
Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon.
Nelson Mandela
There are leaders who know that however furious the debate, there are good men and women in all population groups - amongst blacks, amongst whites, and amongst Afrikaans and English speaking people.
Nelson Mandela
In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.
