Nelson Mandela
Image
I am fundamentally an optimist.
Nelson Mandela
Image

Nelson Mandela
Image

Nelson Mandela
Image

Nelson Mandela
Image
The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.
Nelson Mandela
Image
My respect for human beings is based not on the colour of a man’s skin nor authority he may wield, but purely on merit.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Those South Africans who berate me for being loyal to our friends, literally they can go and throw themselves into a pool. I am not going to betray the trust of those who helped us.
Nelson Mandela
