More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I was able to change my life by knowing that if somebody does something good for you, you have to respond.
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
A movement without vision would be a movement without moral foundation.
Nelson Mandela
I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.
Nelson Mandela
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.
Nelson Mandela
The people of Africa have learned the lessons of patience and endurance in their long struggle for freedom. In a cynical world we have become an inspiration to many. We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to belief in the goodness of people.
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
I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.
Nelson Mandela
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair
Nelson Mandela
Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela
There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.
Nelson Mandela
I was not born with a hunger to be free, I was born free.
Nelson Mandela
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.
Nelson Mandela
It's in your hands to make the world a better place.
Nelson Mandela
An educated, enlightened & informed population is one of the surest ways of promoting the health of a democracy
Nelson Mandela
I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
Nelson Mandela
Tread softly, Brathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.
Nelson Mandela
It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism
Nelson Mandela
Our motto should be: let us make peace so that we can concentrate on the really important work that needs to be done. That is, alleviating the plight of the poor and the defenceless, for as long as most of humanity feels the pain of poverty we all remain prisoners.
Nelson Mandela
