More quotes by Nelson Mandela
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
Nelson Mandela
I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.
Nelson Mandela
We slaughter one another in our words and attitudes. We slaughter one another in the stereotypes and mistrust that linger in our heads, and the words of hate we spew from our lips.
Nelson Mandela
I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.
Nelson Mandela
The very right to be human is denied every day to hundreds of millions of people as a result of poverty, the unavailability of basic necessities such as food, jobs, water and shelter, education, health care and a healthy environment.
Nelson Mandela
It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education.
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
The collapse of good conscience and the absence of accountability and public scrutiny have led to crimes against humanity and violations of international law.
Nelson Mandela
Poetry cannot block a bullet or still a sjambok, but it can bear witness to brutality-thereby cultivating a flower in a graveyard.
Nelson Mandela
The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.
Nelson Mandela
Adversity cleanses the lethargies of man
Nelson Mandela
I was neglected by my family because I had disappointed them - I'd run away from being forced into an arranged marriage, which was a big blow to them.
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
To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy.
Nelson Mandela
Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
Nelson Mandela
South Africa is the most beautiful place on earth. Admittedly, I am biased but when you combine the natural beauty... and the fact that the region is a haven for Africa's most splendid wildlife... Then I think that we have been blessed with a truly wonderful land.
Nelson Mandela
The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.
Nelson Mandela
I have always endeavoured to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion.
Nelson Mandela
I want to sleep for eternity with a broad smile on my face. I want those who remain behind to say this man has done his duty.
Nelson Mandela
I went as an observer, not a participant, for I do not think that I ever spoke. I wanted to understand the issues under discussion, evaluate the arguments, see the calibre of the men involved.
Nelson Mandela
