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

Nelson Mandela

“I remember Mac retorting that hundreds of years ago there was a Hindi word for a craft that flew in the air, long before the airplane was invented, but that did not mean that airplanes existed in ancient India.”

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

“The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.”

Nelson Mandela

“I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.”

Nelson Mandela

“Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.”

Nelson Mandela

“Later the island was turned into a leper colony, a lunatic asylum, and a naval base. The government had only recently turned the island back into a prison.”

Nelson Mandela

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

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

“Although few people will remember 3 June 1993, it was a landmark in South African history. On that day, after months of negotiations at the World Trade Centre, the multiparty forum voted to set a date for the country’s first national, nonracial, one-person-one-vote election: 27 April 1994. For the first time in South African history, the black majority would go to the polls to elect their own leaders.”

Nelson Mandela

“Ma il silenzio amoroso tra una madre e un figlio non è una dimensione solitaria.”

Nelson Mandela

“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”

Nelson Mandela

“Losing a sense of time is an easy way to lose one’s grip and even one’s sanity.”

Nelson Mandela

“There is no such thing as part freedom.

Nelson Mandela

“We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”

Nelson Mandela
