More quotes by Nelson Mandela
The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans, and that we are citizens of the world.
Nelson Mandela
It can be said that there are four basic and primary things that the mass of people in a society wish for: to live in a safe environment, to be able to work and provide for themselves, to have access to good public health and to have sound educational opportunities for their children.
Nelson Mandela
There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.
Nelson Mandela
The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad story.
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
Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon

Nelson Mandela
You know, you can only lead them from behind.
Nelson Mandela
As the years progress one increasingly realises the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 90-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the centre of the values by which you live.
Nelson Mandela
[Giving] is the essence of the great religions of the world - whether you are discussing the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Christian religion. It is an essential fundamental principle of all religions, whatever stage of development a society has reached, to sympathize with others and to promote that spirit of equality.
Nelson Mandela
The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Nelson Mandela
Where you stand depends on where you sit.
Nelson Mandela
I learned to have the patience to listen when people put forward their views, even if I think those views are wrong. You can't reach a just decision in a dispute unless you listen to both sides.
Nelson Mandela
The truth is we are not yet free we have merely achieved the freedom to be free.
Nelson Mandela
When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.
Nelson Mandela
If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Nelson Mandela
Democracy is based on the majority principle. This is especially true in a country such as ours where the vast majority have been systematically denied their rights. At the same time, democracy also requires that the rights of political and other minorities be safeguarded.
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.
