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

Both Bush as well, as Tony Blair, are undermining an idea which was sponsored by their predecessors. They do not care. Is it because the secretary-general of the United Nations [Ghanaian Kofi Annan] is now a black man? They never did that when secretary-generals were white.

[Giving] is the essence of the great religions of the world - whether you are discussing the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Christian religion.

Times change, we need to change as well.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I like a leader who can, while pointing out a mistake, bring up the good things the other person has done. If you do that, then the person sees that you have a complete picture of him. There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I enjoyed the discipline and solitariness of long-distance running, which allowed me to escape from the hurly-burly of school life.

Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great, you can be that generation
Nelson Mandela

With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not ended yet.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.
