More quotes by Nelson Mandela
For me, nonviolence was not a moral principle but a strategy there is no moral goodness in using an ineffective weapon.
Nelson Mandela
Our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our nation
Nelson Mandela
We cannot blame other people for our troubles. We are not victims of the influx of foreign people into South Africa. We must remember that it was mainly due to the aggressive and hostile policies of the apartheid regime that the economic development of our neighbours was undermined.
Nelson Mandela
As the years progress one increasingly realises the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 90-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the centre of the values by which you live.
Nelson Mandela
When we decided to take up arms, it was because the only other choice was to surrender and to submit to slavery.
Nelson Mandela
I admire young people who are concerned with the affairs of their community and nation perhaps because I also became involved in struggle whist I was still at school.
Nelson Mandela
Children are the most important asset in a country. For them to become that asset, they must receive education and love from their parents.
Nelson Mandela
If you sit down and talk to a person, it's easy to convince him that apartheid can never save a country and will lead to the slaughtering of innocent people - including his own people.
Nelson Mandela
If you are poor, you are not likely to live long.
Nelson Mandela
The relations between a man and his or her god is a personal matter you can't go out and challenge the belief of people in a superior being.
Nelson Mandela
We have introduced a rule of law. That never existed for centuries in this country [South Africa], especially under the apartheid regime, when the law was reduced into disrepute.
Nelson Mandela
The challenge for each one of you is to take up these ideals of tolerance and respect for others and put them to practical use in your schools, your communities and throughout your lives.
Nelson Mandela
The Good News borne by our risen Messiah who chose not one race, who chose not one country, who chose not one language, who chose not one tribe, who chose all of humankind!
Nelson Mandela
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up
Nelson Mandela
The laws that stopped blacks from voting were the worst, because they prevented blacks from voting someone into parliament who could change the other laws. Even though the blacks were the majority of the population, they were still not getting a say.
Nelson Mandela
Only armchair politicians are immune from committing mistakes. Errors are inherent in political action.
Nelson Mandela
One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.
Nelson Mandela
We must also know that even before liberation in 1994 there [in South Africa] were people with resources who tried to share with those who were deprived.
Nelson Mandela
We need a fundamental change of mindset with regards to the way we speak and behave about sex and sexuality. Boys and men have a particularly critical role in this regard, changing the chauvinist and demeaning ways sexuality and women were traditionally dealt with in both our actions and speaking.
Nelson Mandela
Disasters will always come and go, leaving their victims either completely broken or steeled and seasoned and better able to face the next crop of challenges that may occur.
Nelson Mandela
