Nelson Mandela
It is my greatest wish that the Children’s Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Why is the United States behaving so arrogantly? All that (Mr. Bush) wants is Iraqi oil.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
One effect of sustained conflict is to narrow our vision of what is possible. Time and time again, conflicts are resolved through shifts that were unimaginable at the start.
Nelson Mandela
There is a constant struggle between good an evil in the world. It is up to good people to choose the right side
Nelson Mandela
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
Nelson Mandela
