More quotes by 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
As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Nelson Mandela
You see, when there is danger, a good leader takes the front line. But when there is celebration, a good leader stays in the back room. If you want the cooperation of human beings around you, make them feel that they are important. And you do that by being humble.
Nelson Mandela
The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
Nelson Mandela
With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not ended yet.
Nelson Mandela
The time comes in the life of any nation when there remains only two choices - submit or fight.
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
The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad story.
Nelson Mandela
The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.
Nelson Mandela
Since the dawn of history, mankind has honoured and respected brave and honest people.
Nelson Mandela
Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.
Nelson Mandela
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson Mandela
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.
Nelson Mandela
We don't have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness.
Nelson Mandela
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.
Nelson Mandela
There was much in such a society that was primitive and insecure and it certainly could never measure up to the demands of the present epoch. But in such a society are contained the seeds of revolutionary democracy in which none will be held in slavery.
Nelson Mandela
Do not allow your anger to control your reason, but rather your reason to control your anger.
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
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Nelson Mandela
A free press is one of the pillars of democracy.
