More quotes by Nelson Mandela
If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Nelson Mandela
In Africa there is a concept known as 'ubuntu' - the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others that if we are to accomplish anything in this world it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievement of others.
Nelson Mandela
A political movement must keep in touch with reality and the prevailing conditions. Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables, and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organization and the struggle we serve.
Nelson Mandela
I am confident that nobody... will accuse me of selfishness if I ask to spend time, while I am still in good health, with my family, my friends and also with myself.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.
Nelson Mandela
Today we are a nation at peace with itself, united in our diversity, not only proclaiming but living out the contention that South Africa belongs to all who live in it. We take our place amongst the nations of the world, confident and proud in being an African country.
Nelson Mandela
I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.
Nelson Mandela
Tread softly, Brathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.
Nelson Mandela
It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.
Nelson Mandela
Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon
Nelson Mandela
The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
Nelson Mandela
In the end, reconciliation is a spiritual process, which requires more than just a legal framework. It has to happen in the hearts and minds of people.
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
It is also the fate of leadership to be misunderstood. For historians, academics, writers and journalists to reflect great lives according to their own subjective canon.
Nelson Mandela
