After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.

More quotes by Nelson Mandela
As we judge others so are we judged by others. The suspicious will always be tormented by suspicion.
Nelson Mandela
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
Nelson Mandela
It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.
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
Abject poverty is demeaning, is an assault on the dignity of those that suffer it. In the end it demeans us all. It makes the freedom of all of us less meaningful.
Nelson Mandela
The time comes in the life of any nation when there remains only two choices - submit or fight.
Nelson Mandela
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.
Nelson Mandela
Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.
Nelson Mandela
The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices - submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom
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
Tread softly, Brathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.
Nelson Mandela
I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.
Nelson Mandela
It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.
Nelson Mandela
Do not allow your anger to control your reason, but rather your reason to control your anger.
Nelson Mandela
We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela
There is no future without forgiveness
Nelson Mandela
Disasters will always come and go, leaving their victims either completely broken or steeled and seasoned and better able to face the next crop of challenges that may occur.
Nelson Mandela
If you sit down and talk to a person, it's easy to convince him that apartheid can never save a country and will lead to the slaughtering of innocent people - including his own people.
Nelson Mandela
Know your enemy - and learn about his favorite sport.
Nelson Mandela
The collapse of good conscience and the absence of accountability and public scrutiny have led to crimes against humanity and violations of international law.
Nelson Mandela
