More quotes by Nelson Mandela
No power on this earth can destroy the thirst for human dignity
Nelson Mandela
Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
I could not imagine that the future I was walking toward could compare in any way to the past that I was leaving behind.

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
When I closed THE GRAPES OF WRATH, I was a different man. It enriched my powers of thinking and discipline, and my relationships. I left prison more informed than when I went in. And the more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.
Nelson Mandela
In Africa there is a concept known as 'ubuntu' - the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others that if we are to accomplish anything in this world it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievement of others.
Nelson Mandela
There must be an end to white monopoly on political power, and a fundamental restructuring of our political and economic systems to ensure that the inequalities of apartheid are addressed and our society thoroughly democratized.
Nelson Mandela
There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal trimuph if you have the iron will and the neccessary skill.
Nelson Mandela
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair
Nelson Mandela
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
Nelson Mandela
It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
Nelson Mandela
The victory of democracy in South Africa is the common achievement of all humanity.
