More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.
Nelson Mandela
To truly lead one's people, one must also truly know them.
Nelson Mandela
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
Nelson Mandela
There was much in such a society that was primitive and insecure and it certainly could never measure up to the demands of the present epoch. But in such a society are contained the seeds of revolutionary democracy in which none will be held in slavery.
Nelson Mandela
You know, you can only lead them from behind.
Nelson Mandela
Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.
Nelson Mandela
There are leaders who know that however furious the debate, there are good men and women in all population groups - amongst blacks, amongst whites, and amongst Afrikaans and English speaking people.
Nelson Mandela
Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.
Nelson Mandela
Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.
Nelson Mandela
I told my cellmates about the oppression of the whites and apartheid. I helped organize hunger strikes and the like in my prison.
Nelson Mandela
I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come.
Nelson Mandela
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Nelson Mandela
I went as an observer, not a participant, for I do not think that I ever spoke. I wanted to understand the issues under discussion, evaluate the arguments, see the calibre of the men involved.
Nelson Mandela
Extremists on all sides thrive, fed by the blood lust of centuries gone by.
Nelson Mandela
When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.
Nelson Mandela
I have always admired men and women who used their talents to serve the community, and who were highly respected and admired for their efforts and sacrifices, even though they held no office whatsoever in government or society.
Nelson Mandela
Learn to know yourself... to search realistically and regularly the processes of your own mind and feelings.
Nelson Mandela
I am fundamentally an optimist.
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
A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
Nelson Mandela
