No
one is born hating another person because of the color of his
skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn
to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to
love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than
its opposite.
Nelson Mandela
Long Walk to Freedom |
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.

True
reconciliation does not consist in merely forgetting the past.
Nelson Mandela |
Only
free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts.

Education
is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the
world.

Extremists
on all sides thrive, fed by the blood lust of centuries gone
by.
Nelson Mandela |
As
we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
Nelson Mandela |
There
is no such thing as part freedom.
Nelson Mandela |
For
to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live
in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Nelson Mandela |
And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
