“I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.”

Nelson Mandela

“There is no such thing as part freedom”

Nelson Mandela

“Suddenly there were no Xhosas or Zulus, no Indians or Africans, no rightists or leftists, no religious or political leaders; we were all nationalists and patriots bound together by a love of our common history our culture, our country, and our people.”

Nelson Mandela

“It will forever remain an accusation and a challenge to all men and women of conscience that it took as long as it has, before all of us stood up to say enough is enough.” 

Nelson Mandela

“I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.”

Nelson Mandela

“Peace is the greatest weapon for development that any person can have.” 

Nelson Mandela

“There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.”

Nelson Mandela

“Of course you cannot know a man completely, his character, his principles, sense of judgement, not till he’s shown his colors, run the people, making laws. Experience, there’s the test.”

Nelson Mandela

“A friend of mine once saw Mandela in a South African airport and told me this story. The president had noticed a lady who was walking by with her daughter, a beautiful five- or six-year-old girl, with blond hair and blue eyes. Mandela walked up to this little girl and leaned down and shook her hand, and he said, “Do you know who I am?” And the child smiled and said, “Yes, you are President Mandela.” Mandela said, “Yes, I am your president. And if you work very hard in school and you learn a lot and you are nice to everybody, you too could grow up to be President of South Africa.”

Nelson Mandela

“Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.”

Nelson Mandela

“Having resentment against someone is like drinking poison and thinking it will kill your enemy.”

Nelson Mandela

“I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.”

Nelson Mandela

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.”

Nelson Mandela

“I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.”

Nelson Mandela

“To be free is to not merely cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

Nelson Mandela
