Nelson Mandela
It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism
Nelson Mandela
The greatest single challenge facing our globalised world is to combat and eradicate its disparities.
Nelson Mandela
Nothing is black or white.
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
The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.
Nelson Mandela
As we judge others so are we judged by others. The suspicious will always be tormented by suspicion.
Nelson Mandela
