Nelson Mandela Quotes

I dust [your photo] carefully every morning, for to do so gives me the pleasant feeling that I’m caressing you as in the old days. I even touch your nose with mine to recapture the electric current that used to flush through my blood whenever I did so Picture Quote #1

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‘We want peace, we want stability,’ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society Picture Quote #1

As the years progress one increasingly realises the importance of friendship and human solidarity. And if a 90-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity, the concern for the other, at the centre of the values by which you live Picture Quote #1

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone Picture Quote #1

My job is not done. I address my songs now to the third world. I am popular all over Asia and Africa and the Middle East, not to speak of South Africa, where I’m trying to go to see Nelson Mandela Picture Quote #1

I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated Picture Quote #1

There will be life after Mandela. On my last day I want to know that those who remain behind will say: ‘The man who lies here has done his duty for his country and his people.’ Picture Quote #1

You sharpen your ideas by reducing yourself to the level of the people you are with and a sense of humour and a complete relaxation, even when you’re discussing serious things, does help to mobilise friends around you. And I love that Picture Quote #1

Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela - who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing Picture Quote #1

Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because [that is] the only way to make it appear like a normal illness Picture Quote #1

I cannot overemphasise the value we place on a free, independent and outspoken press Picture Quote #1

It is the dictate of history to bring to the fore the kind of leaders who seize the moment, who cohere the wishes and aspirations of the oppressed. Such was Steve Biko, a fitting product of his time; a proud representative of the re-awakening of a people Picture Quote #1

We raise our voices in holy gladness to celebrate the victory of the risen Christ over the terrible forces of death Picture Quote #1

I thank whatever gods may be / For my unconquerable soul. / I am the master of my fate / I am the captain of my soul Picture Quote #1

Press Freedom will never be under threat in South Africa for as long as the ANC is the majority party Picture Quote #1

Che Guevara’s life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honor his memory Picture Quote #1

The world has lost a visionary leader, a courageous voice for justice, and a clear moral compass. By showing us that the path to freedom and human dignity lies in love, wisdom and compassion for one another, Nelson Mandela stands as an inspiration to us all Picture Quote #1

A lot of controversy over this possible invasion of Iraq. In fact, Nelson Mandela was so upset, he called Bush’s dad. How embarrassing, when world leaders start calling your father Picture Quote #1

I think the most moving part of my trip [to Africa] so far was seeing 92-year-old Nelson Mandela, and just thinking about his life. This man has lived through a struggle that few nations have known Picture Quote #1

Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children Picture Quote #1

The so-called ‘Palestinian autonomous areas’ are bantustans. These are restricted entities within the power structure of the Israeli apartheid system Picture Quote #1

Ethiopia always has a special place in my imagination and the prospect of visiting Ethiopia attracted me more strongly than a trip to France, England, and America combined. I felt I would be visiting my own genesis, unearthing the roots of what made me an African Picture Quote #1

The Children’s Hospital will be a credible demonstration of the commitment of African leaders to place the rights of children at the forefront. Nothing less would be enough Picture Quote #1

South Africa is the most beautiful place on earth. Admittedly, I am biased but when you combine the natural beauty... and the fact that the region is a haven for Africa’s most splendid wildlife... Then I think that we have been blessed with a truly wonderful land Picture Quote #1

Very sad to hear about the passing of Nelson Mandela. He was a true inspiration for human rights and equality for South Africa and the reason apartheid no longer exists there. The world will never forget his capacity for forgiveness and magnanimity. RIP Picture Quote #1

When you are behind bars with no hope of release, you need to find strength wherever you can. Personally, I found strength in Michael Jackson Picture Quote #1

Greece is the mother of democracy and South Africa is its youngest daughter Picture Quote #1

That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess Picture Quote #1

The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices - submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom Picture Quote #1

Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon Picture Quote #1
