“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”

Nelson Mandela

“If I preached unity, I must act like a unifier, even at the risk of perhaps alienating some of my own colleagues.”

Nelson Mandela

“Crime must be brought under control... Freedom without civility, freedom without the ability to live in peace, was not true freedom at all.”

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

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”

Nelson Mandela

“No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.”

Nelson Mandela

“It is not my ambition to marry a white woman or swim in a white pool. It is political equality that we want.”

Nelson Mandela

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

Nelson Mandela

“all remained loyal to him, not because they always agreed with him, but because the regent listened to and respected different opinions.”

Nelson Mandela

“Some men, under the pressure of incarceration, showed true mettle, while others revealed themselves as less than what they had appeared to be.”

Nelson Mandela

“I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities and a thousand unremembered moments produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people. There was no particular day on which I said, Henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.”

Nelson Mandela

“Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.”

Nelson Mandela

“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

“I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else’s freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.”

Nelson Mandela

“Peace is not just the absence of conflict; peace is the creation of an environment where all can flourish regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, class, caste or any other social markers of difference.”
