“When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.”

Nelson Mandela

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

Nelson Mandela

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.

Nelson Mandela

“Don't Judge a person by his success stories, but only with how many times the person stood up, after falling down.”

Nelson Mandela

“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. -Nelson Mandela, activist, South African president, Nobel Peace Prize (b. 1918)”

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

“كيف يمكن لفتى من الريف ان يتفوق علينا نحن المتقدمين وهو لايتقن حتى الحديث بالانجليزية”

Nelson Mandela

“Like all Xhosa children, I acquired knowledge mainly through observation. We were meant to learn through imitation and emulation, not through questions. When I first visited the homes of whites, I was often dumbfounded by the number and nature of questions that children asked of their parents—and their parents’ unfailing willingness to answer them. In my household, questions were considered a nuisance; adults imparted information as they considered necessary.”

Nelson Mandela

“We do not want freedom without bread, nor do we want bread without freedom.

Nelson Mandela

“May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears.”

Nelson Mandela

“One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.”

Nelson Mandela

“Banning not only confines one physically, it imprisons one's spirit. it induces a kind of psychological claustrophobia that makes one yearn not only for freedom of movement but spiritual escape...This insidious effect of bans was that at a certain point one began to think that the opponent was not without but within.” 

Nelson Mandela

“Friends, comrades and fellow South Africans. I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all! I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.”

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

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