More quotes by Nelson Mandela
For me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom can never be taken for granted. Each generation must safeguard it and extend it. Your parents and elders sacrificed much so that you should have freedom without suffering what they did. Use this precious right to ensure that the darkness of the past never returns.
Nelson Mandela
I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.
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
The time is always right to do right
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
I realized that they could take everything from me except my mind and my heart. They could not take those things. Those things I still had control over. And I decided not to give them away.
Nelson Mandela
Racism is a blight on the human conscience
Nelson Mandela
Men come and men go, I have come and I will go when my time comes
Nelson Mandela
It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
Nelson Mandela
If you are stimulated by what you do, you never get tired
Nelson Mandela
Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.
Nelson Mandela
Our task is not to liberate the oppressed, but to liberate the oppressors
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing to popularize a person. Only humility, which is the ability to remain in the background and to put others in the front light.
Nelson Mandela
It is my greatest wish that the Children’s Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.
Nelson Mandela
There is no future without forgiveness
Nelson Mandela
It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.
Nelson Mandela
Religion is one of the most important forces in the world. Whether you are a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew, or a Hindu, religion is a great force, and it can help one have command of one's own morality, one's own behavior, and one's own attitude.
Nelson Mandela
Justice and I became friends, though we were opposites in many ways - he was extroverted, I was introverted he was lighthearted, I was serious.
Nelson Mandela
It is always impossible until it is done.
Nelson Mandela
