Nelson Mandela
Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.
Nelson Mandela
I say to all those leaders, do not look the other way. Do not hesitate... It is within your power to avoid a genocide of humanity.
Nelson Mandela
My family is very large. 42 million.
Nelson Mandela
Political division, based on color, is entirely artificial and when it disappears, so will the domination of one color group by another.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Nelson Mandela
I found solitary confinement the most forbidding aspect of prison life. There is no end and no beginning there is only one's mind, which can begin to play tricks. Was that a dream or did it really happen? One begins to question everything.
Nelson Mandela
We, the people of South Africa, declare for all our country and the world to know: That South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and that no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of the people.
Nelson Mandela
We have introduced equity into our life, including a uniform educational system. We have also introduced a Bill of Rights, which is not just a piece of paper, but a living document because we have created structures that are totally independent of the government and that can overrule the government, even the president.
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
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.
Nelson Mandela
If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace.
Nelson Mandela
A new world will be won not by those who stand at a distance with their arms folded, but by those who are in the arena, whose garments are torn by storms and whose bodies are maimed in the course of the contest.
Nelson Mandela
The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices - submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom
Nelson Mandela
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished
Nelson Mandela
The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans, and that we are citizens of the world.
Nelson Mandela
Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
Fools multiply when wise men are silent.
