More quotes by Nelson Mandela
There is nothing to popularize a person. Only humility, which is the ability to remain in the background and to put others in the front light.
Nelson Mandela
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
Nelson Mandela
When I closed THE GRAPES OF WRATH, I was a different man. It enriched my powers of thinking and discipline, and my relationships. I left prison more informed than when I went in. And the more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
One of the sad realities today is that very few people, especially young people, read books. Unless we can find imaginative ways of addressing this reality, future generations are in danger of losing their history.
Nelson Mandela
I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.
Nelson Mandela
Living isn't just about doing for yourself,but what you do for others as well.
Nelson Mandela
It always seems impossible until its done.
Nelson Mandela
It only seems impossible until it's done.
Nelson Mandela
I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.
Nelson Mandela
I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.
Nelson Mandela
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
Nelson Mandela
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.
Nelson Mandela
If you don't allow people to contribute, to offer their point of view, or to criticize what has been put before them, then they can never like you. And you can never build that instrument of collective leadership.
Nelson Mandela
