More quotes by Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
An initiative was essentially led by civil society because the policy of the government was that Africans must not be taught to graze in pastures which were reserved for the main white group.
Nelson Mandela
If you are stimulated by what you do, you never get tired
Nelson Mandela
You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.
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

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

Nelson Mandela
The truth is we are not yet free we have merely achieved the freedom to be free.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
I've never had a single moment of depression, because I know my cause will triumph.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
I have found Jews to be more broad-minded than most whites on issues of race and politics, perhaps because they themselves have historically been victims of prejudice.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom can never be taken for granted. Each generation must safeguard it and extend it. Your parents and elders sacrificed much so that you should have freedom without suffering what they did. Use this precious right to ensure that the darkness of the past never returns.
Nelson Mandela
Individuals get caught up in the policy of their country. In prison, for instance, a warden or officer is not promoted if he doesn't follow the policy of the government - though he himself does not believe in that policy.
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
For me, nonviolence was not a moral principle but a strategy there is no moral goodness in using an ineffective weapon.
Nelson Mandela
