More quotes by Nelson Mandela
My respect for human beings is based not on the colour of a man’s skin nor authority he may wield, but purely on merit.
Nelson Mandela
I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
You encourage people by seeing the good in them.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
If you want to preach a revolutionary message, wear a suit.
Nelson Mandela
In many respects, people on the outside suffered more than those of us in jail. In prison, we ate three times a day, we had clothing, we had free medical services, and we could sleep for 12 hours.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression... Our endeavors must be about the liberation of the woman, the emancipation of the man and the liberty of the child.
Nelson Mandela
I discovered even before I went to jail that apartheid was not run by people who were monolithic in their approach. Some of them didn't even believe in apartheid.
Nelson Mandela
It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education.
Nelson Mandela
No child in Africa, and in fact anywhere in the world, should be denied education.
Nelson Mandela
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
Nelson Mandela
In prison, illusions can offer comfort.
Nelson Mandela
Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.
Nelson Mandela
It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism
Nelson Mandela
