I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.

More quotes by Nelson Mandela
If you want to change the world, help the women.
Nelson Mandela
It is also the fate of leadership to be misunderstood. It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism, to conduct discussions as if he or she is a schoolmaster talking to less informed and inexperienced learners.
Nelson Mandela
We must also know that even before liberation in 1994 there [in South Africa] were people with resources who tried to share with those who were deprived.
Nelson Mandela
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.
Nelson Mandela
I admire young people who are concerned with the affairs of their community and nation perhaps because I also became involved in struggle whist I was still at school.
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
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
There is nothing more important in life than giving. Tolerance is forged when people look beyond their own desires
Nelson Mandela
We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela
I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.
Nelson Mandela
Our differences are our strength as a species and as a world community.
Nelson Mandela
It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.
Nelson Mandela
It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.
Nelson Mandela
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair
Nelson Mandela
We know what needs to be done - all that is missing is the will to do it.
Nelson Mandela
Our motto should be: let us make peace so that we can concentrate on the really important work that needs to be done. That is, alleviating the plight of the poor and the defenceless, for as long as most of humanity feels the pain of poverty we all remain prisoners.
Nelson Mandela
I am fundamentally an optimist.
Nelson Mandela
The Church was as concerned with this world as the next: I saw that virtually all of the achievements of Africans seemed to have come about through the missionary work of the Church.
Nelson Mandela
I have found Jews to be more broad-minded than most whites on issues of race and politics, perhaps because they themselves have historically been victims of prejudice.
Nelson Mandela
By ancestry, I was born to rule.
Nelson Mandela
