More quotes by Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.

Nelson Mandela
Courage is not the absence of fear — it s inspiring others to move beyond it.
Nelson Mandela
It is not our diversity which divides us it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.
Nelson Mandela
I want to sleep for eternity with a broad smile on my face. I want those who remain behind to say this man has done his duty.
Nelson Mandela
Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization - and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.
Nelson Mandela
There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.
Nelson Mandela
I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come.
Nelson Mandela
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Nelson Mandela
