Nelson Mandela
I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Racism is a blight on the human conscience
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
The habit of attending to small things and of appreciating small courtesies is one of the important marks of a good person.
Nelson Mandela
An initiative was essentially led by civil society because the policy of the government was that Africans must not be taught to graze in pastures which were reserved for the main white group.
