“Democracy meant all men were to be heard, and a decision was taken together as a people. Majority rule was a foreign notion. A minority was not to be crushed by a majority.”

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

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” 

Nelson Mandela

“I cherish my own freedom dearly, but I care even more for your freedom. From a response to an offer of conditional freedom, read by Zindzi Mandela at a rally, Jabulani Stadium, Soweto, South Africa,” 

Nelson Mandela

“I am what I am.........both as a result of people who respected me and helped me, and of those who did not respect me and treated me badly. Nelson Mandela”

Nelson Mandela

“I always remember the regent’s axiom: a leader, he said, is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”

Nelson Mandela

“I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.”

Nelson Mandela

“Politics can be strengthened by music, but music has a potency that defies politics.”

Nelson Mandela

“Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.”

Nelson Mandela

“I realized that they could take everything from me except my mind and my heart. They could not take those things. Those things I still had control over. And I decided not to give them away.”

Nelson Mandela

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

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

“She married a man who soon left her; that man became a myth; and then that myth returned home and proved to be just a man after all.”

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela
