More quotes by Nelson Mandela
There is no future without forgiveness
Nelson Mandela
We know what needs to be done - all that is missing is the will to do it.
Nelson Mandela
Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
Nelson Mandela
I was not born with a hunger to be free, I was born free.
Nelson Mandela
An organisation can only carry out its mandate if there is discipline, and where there is no discipline there can be no real progress
Nelson Mandela
I was called a terrorist yesterday... Today I am admired by the very people who said I was one.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
The Church was as concerned with this world as the next: I saw that virtually all of the achievements of Africans seemed to have come about through the missionary work of the Church.
Nelson Mandela
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
Nelson Mandela
When we dehumanise and demonise our opponents, we abandon the possibility of peacefully resolving our differences, and seek to justify violence against them.
Nelson Mandela
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
Nelson Mandela
I will use the rest of my life to help the poor overcome the problems confronting them - poverty is the greatest challenge facing humanity. That is why I build schools I want to free people from poverty and illiteracy.
Nelson Mandela
It is our duty to give support to the brother leader ... especially in regards to the sanctions which are not hitting just him, they are hitting the ordinary masses of the people ... our African brothers and sisters.
Nelson Mandela
Of course we desire education and we think it is a good thing, but you don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you have got aspirations, you have got acclaims. It has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
Nelson Mandela
South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.
Nelson Mandela
Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.
Nelson Mandela
We can build a society grounded on friendship and our common humanity - a society founded on tolerance. That is the only road open to us.
Nelson Mandela
