More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Negotiation and discussion are the greatest weapons we have for promoting peace and development.
Nelson Mandela
The time is always right to do right
Nelson Mandela
The Church was as concerned with this world as the next: I saw that virtually all of the achievements of Africans seemed to have come about through the missionary work of the Church.
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
When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.
Nelson Mandela
Children are the most important asset in a country. For them to become that asset, they must receive education and love from their parents.
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
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Nelson Mandela
Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
Nelson Mandela
I am confident that nobody... will accuse me of selfishness if I ask to spend time, while I am still in good health, with my family, my friends and also with myself.
Nelson Mandela
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Nelson Mandela
Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.
Nelson Mandela
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
Nelson Mandela
I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them.
Nelson Mandela
There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.
Nelson Mandela
In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.
Nelson Mandela
You see, when there is danger, a good leader takes the front line. But when there is celebration, a good leader stays in the back room. If you want the cooperation of human beings around you, make them feel that they are important. And you do that by being humble.
Nelson Mandela
No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.
Nelson Mandela
I was neglected by my family because I had disappointed them - I'd run away from being forced into an arranged marriage, which was a big blow to them.
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
