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.

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings....

Friends, Comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.

I enjoyed the discipline and solitariness of long-distance running, which allowed me to escape from the hurly-burly of school life.
Nelson Mandela

Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.
Nelson Mandela

Only armchair politicians are immune from committing mistakes. Errors are inherent in political action.
Nelson Mandela
Image
There is an absence of democratic accountability and control in every sphere of government and the state. To address this debilitating legacy requires determined action and a deep commitment to transforming our society from a crisis ridden present into something all South Africans can be truly proud of.
