Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life . . .
Nelson Mandela
It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.
Nelson Mandela
We can't fight AIDS unless we do much more to fight TB as well.
Nelson Mandela
Nothing is black or white.
Nelson Mandela
I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.
Nelson Mandela
The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad story.
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
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.
Nelson Mandela
We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.
Nelson Mandela
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.

Video screenshot Facts and figures from Nelson Mandela's life, set to the trailer from 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.' Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.
Nelson Mandela
Greece is the mother of democracy and South Africa is its youngest daughter
Nelson Mandela
Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.
Nelson Mandela
I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.
Nelson Mandela
Both Bush as well, as Tony Blair, are undermining an idea which was sponsored by their predecessors. They do not care. Is it because the secretary-general of the United Nations [Ghanaian Kofi Annan] is now a black man? They never did that when secretary-generals were white.
Nelson Mandela
Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon
Nelson Mandela
If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings.... What I am condemning is that one power, with a president [George W. Bush] who has no foresight, who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust.
Nelson Mandela
In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.
Nelson Mandela
We know what needs to be done - all that is missing is the will to do it.
Nelson Mandela
Only free men can negotiate prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
Nelson Mandela
