Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.
Nelson Mandela
It only seems impossible until it's done.
Nelson Mandela
To go to prison because of your convictions and be prepared to suffer for what you believe in, is something worthwhile. It is an achievement for a man to do his duty on earth irrespective of the consequences.
Nelson Mandela
One of the sad realities today is that very few people, especially young people, read books. Unless we can find imaginative ways of addressing this reality, future generations are in danger of losing their history.
Nelson Mandela
The authorities liked to say that we received a balanced diet it was indeed balanced - between the unpalatable and the inedible.
Nelson Mandela
In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.
Nelson Mandela
