Religion is one of the most important forces in the world. Whether you are a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew, or a Hindu, religion is a great force, and it can help one have command of one's own morality, one's own behavior, and one's own attitude.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Our freedom is also incomplete, dear compatriots, as long as we are denied our security by criminals who prey on our communities, who rob our businesses and undermine our economy, who ply their destructive trade in drugs in our schools, and who do violence against our women and children.
Nelson Mandela
Image
No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.
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

The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.

Be a life long student, read as many books as possible.
Nelson Mandela

Information is a basic human right and the fundamental foundation for the formation of democratic institutions.
Nelson Mandela
Image
What he means by this is that instead of saying you'll try, you need to do. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.
Nelson Mandela
Image
The relations between a man and his or her god is a personal matter you can't go out and challenge the belief of people in a superior being.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Democracy is based on the majority principle. This is especially true in a country such as ours where the vast majority have been systematically denied their rights. At the same time, democracy also requires that the rights of political and other minorities be safeguarded.
