More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson Mandela
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
Nelson Mandela
There is an absence of democratic accountability and control in every sphere of government and the state. To address this debilitating legacy requires determined action and a deep commitment to transforming our society from a crisis ridden present into something all South Africans can be truly proud of.
Nelson Mandela
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.
Nelson Mandela
As long as many of our people still live in utter poverty, as long as children still live under plastic covers, as long as many of our people are still without jobs, no South African should rest and wallow in the joy of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
When I closed THE GRAPES OF WRATH, I was a different man. It enriched my powers of thinking and discipline, and my relationships. I left prison more informed than when I went in. And the more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.
Nelson Mandela
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson Mandela
When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.
Nelson Mandela
Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
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
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished
Nelson Mandela
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
Nelson Mandela
Where you stand depends on where you sit.
Nelson Mandela
In prison, illusions can offer comfort.
Nelson Mandela
Living isn't just about doing for yourself,but what you do for others as well.
Nelson Mandela
If you want to preach a revolutionary message, wear a suit.
Nelson Mandela
We know what needs to be done - all that is missing is the will to do it.
Nelson Mandela
With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not ended yet.
Nelson Mandela
Now we are in the second term of the government of a united nation and the government has done very well. One thing they have done, one thing people could not be blind to, was the achievement this government has made in giving human beings dignity, which they did not enjoy before. They now have dignity.
Nelson Mandela
Political division, based on color, is entirely artificial and when it disappears, so will the domination of one color group by another.
Nelson Mandela
