Nelson Mandela Quotes, Famous Nelson Mandela Quotes, Quotations
During
my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the
African people. I have fought against white domination, and
I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the
ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons
live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an
ideal which I hope to live for and to see realized. But if needs
be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. Nelson Mandela
I
detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether
it comes from a black man or a white man. Nelson Mandela
Whatever
the sentence Your Worship sees fit to impose upon me for the
crime for which I have been convicted before this court may
it rest assured that when my sentence has been completed, I
will still be moved as men are always moved, by their conscience.
I will still be moved by my dislike of the race discrimination
against my people. When I come out from serving my sentence,
I will take up again, as best I can, the struggle for the removal
of those injustices until they are finally abolished. Nelson Mandela
We
are really appalled by any country, whether a superpower or
a small country, that goes outside the U.N. and attacks independent
countries, No country should be allowed to take the law into
their own hands. Nelson Mandela
I
learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph
over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but
he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela
I
dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself. Nelson Mandela
In
my country we go to prison first and then become President. Nelson Mandela
I
dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its
leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this
continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all
our great wildernesses. Nelson Mandela
There
is nothing like returning to a place that reminds unchanged
to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Let
there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Nelson Mandela
