More quotes by Nelson Mandela
In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
Nelson Mandela
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
Nelson Mandela
The best weapon is to sit down and talk.
Nelson Mandela
I was able to change my life by knowing that if somebody does something good for you, you have to respond.
Nelson Mandela
Freedom can never be taken for granted. Each generation must safeguard it and extend it. Your parents and elders sacrificed much so that you should have freedom without suffering what they did. Use this precious right to ensure that the darkness of the past never returns.
Nelson Mandela
AIDS is no longer just a disease, it is a human rights issue.
Nelson Mandela
Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.
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
It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
Teach the children that Africans are not one iota inferior to Europeans.
Nelson Mandela
[Giving] is the essence of the great religions of the world - whether you are discussing the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Christian religion. It is an essential fundamental principle of all religions, whatever stage of development a society has reached, to sympathize with others and to promote that spirit of equality.
Nelson Mandela
Education has become a very powerful weapon in the struggle to produce a well-developed person.
Nelson Mandela
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
Nelson Mandela
We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.
Nelson Mandela
The Commonwealth makes the world safe for diversity
Nelson Mandela
We understand and promote the notion that while children need to be guided they also have an entrenched right to be whatever they want to be and that they can achieve this only if they are given the space to dream and live out their dreams.
Nelson Mandela
I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.
Nelson Mandela
There is an absence of democratic accountability and control in every sphere of government and the state. To address this debilitating legacy requires determined action and a deep commitment to transforming our society from a crisis ridden present into something all South Africans can be truly proud of.
