More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Che Guevara's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honor his memory.
Nelson Mandela
Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
Nelson Mandela
I love playing and chatting with children...feed ing and putting them to bed with a little story, and being away from the family has troubled me throughout my...life.
Nelson Mandela
Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.
Nelson Mandela
If you want to change the world, help the women.
Nelson Mandela
I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.
Nelson Mandela
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished
Nelson Mandela
An organisation can only carry out its mandate if there is discipline, and where there is no discipline there can be no real progress
Nelson Mandela
Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.
Nelson Mandela
The call now is for each of us to ask ourselves: are we doing all we can to help build the country of our dreams?
Nelson Mandela
One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.
Nelson Mandela
There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal trimuph if you have the iron will and the neccessary skill.
Nelson Mandela
Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
Nelson Mandela
There's no such thing as part freedom.
Nelson Mandela
Although Verwoerd thought Africans were lower than animals, his death did not yield us any pleasure. Political assassination is not something I or the ANC ever supported. It is a primitive way of contending with an opponent
Nelson Mandela
If you don't allow people to contribute, to offer their point of view, or to criticize what has been put before them, then they can never like you. And you can never build that instrument of collective leadership.
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
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
Nelson Mandela
We don't have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness.
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
