More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I've never had a single moment of depression, because I know my cause will triumph.
Nelson Mandela
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela
Only free men can negotiate prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
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.
Nelson Mandela
I would like to be remembered not as anyone unique or special, but as part of a great team in this country that has struggled for many years, for decades and even centuries. The greatest glory of living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
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
It is important to not be hostile to what a greater part of society has embraced, whether as Christians, Hindus or Muslims. It is important to respect that because whether you believe or not in the existence of a superior being, humanity does believe in that.
Nelson Mandela
Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization - and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.
Nelson Mandela
Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.
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
Learn to know yourself... to search realistically and regularly the processes of your own mind and feelings.
Nelson Mandela
A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
Nelson Mandela
Some of the mission groups that have been responsible for our education have not been part of the government. In fact, they acted contrary to what the government had planned to do.
Nelson Mandela
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished
Nelson Mandela
Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.
Nelson Mandela
Extremists on all sides thrive, fed by the blood lust of centuries gone by.
Nelson Mandela
We recall the joy and excitement of a nation that had found itself, the collective relief that we had stepped out of our restrictive past, and the expectant air of walking into a brighter future.
Nelson Mandela
