More quotes by Nelson Mandela
I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.
Nelson Mandela
To truly lead one's people, one must also truly know them.
Nelson Mandela
I told my cellmates about the oppression of the whites and apartheid. I helped organize hunger strikes and the like in my prison.
Nelson Mandela
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
Nelson Mandela
Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life . . .
Nelson Mandela
Why is the United States behaving so arrogantly? All that (Mr. Bush) wants is Iraqi oil.
Nelson Mandela
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson Mandela
I realized that they could take everything from me except my mind and my heart. They could not take those things. Those things I still had control over. And I decided not to give them away.
Nelson Mandela
I say to all those leaders, do not look the other way. Do not hesitate... It is within your power to avoid a genocide of humanity.
Nelson Mandela
As long as many of our people still live in utter poverty, as long as children still live under plastic covers, as long as many of our people are still without jobs, no South African should rest and wallow in the joy of freedom.
Nelson Mandela
You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.
Nelson Mandela
Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.
Nelson Mandela
I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
Nelson Mandela
Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.
Nelson Mandela
It is also the fate of leadership to be misunderstood. It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism, to conduct discussions as if he or she is a schoolmaster talking to less informed and inexperienced learners.
Nelson Mandela
Our differences are our strength as a species and as a world community.
Nelson Mandela
There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.
Nelson Mandela
It is also the fate of leadership to be misunderstood. For historians, academics, writers and journalists to reflect great lives according to their own subjective canon.
Nelson Mandela
A free press is one of the pillars of democracy.
Nelson Mandela
There is nothing like a fixed, steady aim, with an honorable purpose. It dignifies your nature, and insures your success.
Nelson Mandela
