More quotes by Nelson Mandela
Be a life long student, read as many books as possible.
Nelson Mandela
There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.
Nelson Mandela
I was not born with a hunger to be free, I was born free.
Nelson Mandela
I have always admired men and women who used their talents to serve the community, and who were highly respected and admired for their efforts and sacrifices, even though they held no office whatsoever in government or society.
Nelson Mandela
We have introduced a rule of law into many sections of our public life.
Nelson Mandela
South Africans have no concept of time and this is also why we can't solve poverty and social problems… It's now 10 years since the fall of the Apartheid government and we cannot blame Apartheid for being tardy.
Nelson Mandela
Our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our nation
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
Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon.
Nelson Mandela
It only seems impossible until it's done.
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
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished
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
No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones.
Nelson Mandela
I would like to be remembered not as anyone unique or special, but as part of a great team in this country that has struggled for many years, for decades and even centuries. The greatest glory of living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall.
Nelson Mandela
The call now is for each of us to ask ourselves: are we doing all we can to help build the country of our dreams?
Nelson Mandela
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson Mandela
It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.
Nelson Mandela
Men come and men go, I have come and I will go when my time comes
Nelson Mandela
The victory of democracy in South Africa is the common achievement of all humanity.
Nelson Mandela
