Great anger and violence can never build a nation.
Nelson Mandela
The victory of democracy in South Africa is the common achievement of all humanity.
Nelson Mandela
The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.
Nelson Mandela
Our motto should be: let us make peace so that we can concentrate on the really important work that needs to be done. That is, alleviating the plight of the poor and the defenceless, for as long as most of humanity feels the pain of poverty we all remain prisoners.

Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.
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
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
A new world will be won not by those who stand at a distance with their arms folded, but by those who are in the arena, whose garments are torn by storms and whose bodies are maimed in the course of the contest.
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
Fools multiply when wise men are silent.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
We must also know that even before liberation in 1994 there [in South Africa] were people with resources who tried to share with those who were deprived.
Nelson Mandela
Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
If you sit down and talk to a person, it's easy to convince him that apartheid can never save a country and will lead to the slaughtering of innocent people - including his own people.
Nelson Mandela
I was neglected by my family because I had disappointed them - I'd run away from being forced into an arranged marriage, which was a big blow to them.
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
It is our duty to give support to the brother leader ... especially in regards to the sanctions which are not hitting just him, they are hitting the ordinary masses of the people ... our African brothers and sisters.
Nelson Mandela
