More quotes by Nelson Mandela
It only seems impossible until it's done.
Nelson Mandela
Millions of people in the world's poorest countries remain enslaved by the chains of poverty. It is time to set them free.
Nelson Mandela
Sport has the power to inspire and unite people. In Africa, soccer enjoys great popularity and has a particular place in the hearts of people.
Nelson Mandela
Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.
Nelson Mandela
We can build a society grounded on friendship and our common humanity - a society founded on tolerance. That is the only road open to us.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing more dangerous than a humiliated man.
Nelson Mandela
I love playing and chatting with children...feed ing and putting them to bed with a little story, and being away from the family has troubled me throughout my...life.
Nelson Mandela
Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice... Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.
Nelson Mandela
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
Nelson Mandela
Racism is a blight on the human conscience. The idea that any people can be inferior to another, to the point where those who consider themselves superior define and treat the rest as subhuman, denies the humanity even of those who elevate themselves to the status of gods.
Nelson Mandela
We slaughter one another in our words and attitudes. We slaughter one another in the stereotypes and mistrust that linger in our heads, and the words of hate we spew from our lips.
Nelson Mandela
We need a fundamental change of mindset with regards to the way we speak and behave about sex and sexuality. Boys and men have a particularly critical role in this regard, changing the chauvinist and demeaning ways sexuality and women were traditionally dealt with in both our actions and speaking.
Nelson Mandela
It generally appears outlandish until its carried out.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.
Nelson Mandela
An organisation can only carry out its mandate if there is discipline, and where there is no discipline there can be no real progress
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
The Good News borne by our risen Messiah who chose not one race, who chose not one country, who chose not one language, who chose not one tribe, who chose all of humankind!
Nelson Mandela
It can be said that there are four basic and primary things that the mass of people in a society wish for: to live in a safe environment, to be able to work and provide for themselves, to have access to good public health and to have sound educational opportunities for their children.
Nelson Mandela
It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.
Nelson Mandela
