More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
Good men and women can be mobilized to ensure that South Africa is united and that the spirit of reconciliation is strengthened and that progress in this country takes place as fast as it can.
Nelson Mandela
Sport has the power to inspire and unite people. In Africa, soccer enjoys great popularity and has a particular place in the hearts of people.
Nelson Mandela
I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
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
If you are stimulated by what you do, you never get tired
Nelson Mandela
Let us remind ourselves that it is ordinary people - men and women, boys and girls - that make the world a special place
Nelson Mandela
In the 21st Century, the capacity to communicate will almost certainly be a key human right.
Nelson Mandela
I feel like a young man of 15.
Nelson Mandela
When we decided to take up arms, it was because the only other choice was to surrender and to submit to slavery.
Nelson Mandela
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression... Our endeavors must be about the liberation of the woman, the emancipation of the man and the liberty of the child.
Nelson Mandela
Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them.
Nelson Mandela
To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy.
Nelson Mandela
