More quotes by Nelson Mandela
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
Nelson Mandela
I have retired, but if there's anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.
Nelson Mandela
No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones.
Nelson Mandela
As we judge others so are we judged by others. The suspicious will always be tormented by suspicion.
Nelson Mandela
There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship. Many people will appear to befriend you when you are wealthy, but precious few will do the same when you are poor. If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent. Yet, poverty often brings out the true generosity in others.
Nelson Mandela
Our society needs to re-establish a culture of caring.
Nelson Mandela
The truth is we are not yet free we have merely achieved the freedom to be free.
Nelson Mandela
Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.
Nelson Mandela
We can't fight AIDS unless we do much more to fight TB as well.
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
Other people have qualities that may be better than your own. Let them express them.
Nelson Mandela
If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
Nelson Mandela
[I] read Anne Frank's diary [while imprisoned] on Robben Island and derived much encouragement from it.
Nelson Mandela
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
Nelson Mandela
Adversity cleanses the lethargies of man
Nelson Mandela
Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.
Nelson Mandela
If you don't allow people to contribute, to offer their point of view, or to criticize what has been put before them, then they can never like you. And you can never build that instrument of collective leadership.
Nelson Mandela
The death sentence is a barbaric act.
Nelson Mandela
Since the dawn of history, mankind has honoured and respected brave and honest people.
Nelson Mandela
You sharpen your ideas by reducing yourself to the level of the people you are with and a sense of humour and a complete relaxation, even when you're discussing serious things, does help to mobilise friends around you. And I love that.
Nelson Mandela
