More quotes by Nelson Mandela
In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.
Nelson Mandela
I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.
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

Nelson Mandela
The calm and tolerant atmosphere that prevailed during the elections depicts the type of South Africa we can build. It set the tone for the future. We might have our differences, but we are one people with a common destiny in our rich variety of culture, race and tradition.
Nelson Mandela
There will be life after Mandela. On my last day I want to know that those who remain behind will say: 'The man who lies here has done his duty for his country and his people.'
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Teach the children that Africans are not one iota inferior to Europeans.
Nelson Mandela
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.

Nelson Mandela
AIDS today in Africa is claiming more lives than the sum total of all wars, famines and floods and the ravages of such deadly diseases as malaria ... We must act now for the sake of the world.
Nelson Mandela
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
Nelson Mandela
I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.
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
Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
