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.

More quotes by Nelson Mandela
We don't have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness.
Nelson Mandela
With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not ended yet.
Nelson Mandela
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
Nelson Mandela
When we dehumanise and demonise our opponents, we abandon the possibility of peacefully resolving our differences, and seek to justify violence against them.
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
Each of us, as citizens, has a role to play in creating a better world for our children
Nelson Mandela
A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
Nelson Mandela
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.
Nelson Mandela
Whether you change the linen or stitch up wounds, cook the food or dispense the medicines, it is in your hands to help build a public service worthy of all those who gave their lives for the dream of democracy
Nelson Mandela
The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.
Nelson Mandela
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.
Nelson Mandela
Our society needs to re-establish a culture of caring.
Nelson Mandela
There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship. Many people will appear to befriend you when you are wealthy, but precious few will do the same when you are poor. If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent. Yet, poverty often brings out the true generosity in others.
Nelson Mandela
Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.
Nelson Mandela
It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
Nelson Mandela
The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.
Nelson Mandela
If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important - and you do that by being genuine and humble.
Nelson Mandela
When I went to jail, I was a trained lawyer. And when the wardens received letters of demands or summonses, they didn't have the resources to go to an attorney to help them. I would help them settle their cases, so they became attached to me and the other prisoners.
Nelson Mandela
I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
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.
