When we dehumanise and demonise our opponents, we abandon the possibility of peacefully resolving our differences, and seek to justify violence against them.
Nelson Mandela
Image
It is my deepest conviction that the children should be seen and heard as our most treasured assets.
Nelson Mandela
Image
It is always impossible until it is done.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
Nelson Mandela

Racism is a blight on the human conscience. The idea that any people can be inferior to another, to the point where those who consider themselves superior define and treat the rest as subhuman, denies the humanity even of those who elevate themselves to the status of gods.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.

Nelson Mandela
Image
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.
Nelson Mandela

It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.
Nelson Mandela

The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Nelson Mandela

My family is very large. 42 million.

Our differences are our strength as a species and as a world community.

I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.
Nelson Mandela

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way.
Nelson Mandela
Image
In my younger days, I was arrogant - jail helped me to get rid of it. I did nothing but make enemies because of my arrogance.

The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad story.
