More quotes by Nelson Mandela
No child in Africa, and in fact anywhere in the world, should be denied education.
Nelson Mandela
Democracy is based on the majority principle. This is especially true in a country such as ours where the vast majority have been systematically denied their rights. At the same time, democracy also requires that the rights of political and other minorities be safeguarded.
Nelson Mandela
A free press is one of the pillars of democracy.
Nelson Mandela
It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.
Nelson Mandela
In my younger days, I was arrogant - jail helped me to get rid of it. I did nothing but make enemies because of my arrogance.
Nelson Mandela
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
Nelson Mandela
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
Nelson Mandela
Sport has the power to change the world... Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.
Nelson Mandela
The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.
Nelson Mandela
We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.
Nelson Mandela
You encourage people by seeing the good in them.
Nelson Mandela
Friends, Comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.
Nelson Mandela
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.
Nelson Mandela
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.
Nelson Mandela
I am fundamentally an optimist.
Nelson Mandela
If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
Nelson Mandela
A real leader uses every issue, no matter how serious and sensitive, to ensure that at the end of the debate we should emerge stronger and more united than ever before.
Nelson Mandela
Information is a basic human right and the fundamental foundation for the formation of democratic institutions.
Nelson Mandela
If our expectations, if our fondest prayers and dreams, are not realized then we should all bear in mind that the greatest glory of living lies not in never falling but in rising every time you fall.
Nelson Mandela
