More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I've never had a single moment of depression, because I know my cause will triumph.
Nelson Mandela
I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.
Nelson Mandela
We tried in our simple way to lead our life in a manner that may make a difference to those of others.
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
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Racism is a blight on the human conscience
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our nation

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
MY greatest regret in life is that I never became the heavyweight boxing champion ofthe world.
Nelson Mandela
No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.
Nelson Mandela
The United States of America is a threat to world peace. Because what [America] is saying is that if you are afraid of a veto in the Security Council, you can go outside and take action and violate the sovereignty of other countries. That is the message they are sending to the world. That must be condemned in the strongest terms.
Nelson Mandela
AIDS is no longer just a disease, it is a human rights issue.
Nelson Mandela
In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.
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
Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.
Nelson Mandela
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
