More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I pay tribute to the endless heroism of youth.
Nelson Mandela
I am fundamentally an optimist.
Nelson Mandela
I was not born with a hunger to be free, I was born free.
Nelson Mandela
It is not our diversity which divides us it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.
Nelson Mandela
The majority of South Africans, black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security. The mass campaign of defiance and other actions of our organization and people can only culminate in the establishment of democracy.
Nelson Mandela
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
Let us remind ourselves that it is ordinary people - men and women, boys and girls - that make the world a special place
Nelson Mandela
Freedom alone is not enough without light to read at night, without time or access to water to irrigate your farm, without the ability to catch fish to feed your family.
Nelson Mandela
Greece is the mother of democracy and South Africa is its youngest daughter
Nelson Mandela
I discovered even before I went to jail that apartheid was not run by people who were monolithic in their approach. Some of them didn't even believe in apartheid.
Nelson Mandela
We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.
Nelson Mandela
It is important to not be hostile to what a greater part of society has embraced, whether as Christians, Hindus or Muslims. It is important to respect that because whether you believe or not in the existence of a superior being, humanity does believe in that.
Nelson Mandela
Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.
Nelson Mandela
Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.
Nelson Mandela
No child in Africa, and in fact anywhere in the world, should be denied education.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing like a fixed, steady aim, with an honorable purpose. It dignifies your nature, and insures your success.
Nelson Mandela
The laws that stopped blacks from voting were the worst, because they prevented blacks from voting someone into parliament who could change the other laws. Even though the blacks were the majority of the population, they were still not getting a say.
Nelson Mandela
I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression... Our endeavors must be about the liberation of the woman, the emancipation of the man and the liberty of the child.
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.
