No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

The New World Order that is in the making must focus on the creation of a world of democracy, peace and prosperity for all.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

A garden was one of the few thing in prison that one could control. To plant a seed, watch it grow, to tend it then harvest it, offered a simple but enduring satisfaction. The sense of being the custodian of this small patch of earth offered a taste of freedom.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

It was during those long and ...

It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. 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.

We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.

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.

In some ways, I saw the garden as a metaphor for certain aspects of my life. A leader must also tend his garden; he, too, plants seeds, and then watches, cultivates, and harvests the results. Like the gardener, a leader must take responsibility for what he cultivates; he must mind his work, try to repel enemies, preserve what can be preserved, and eliminate what cannot succeed.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

Part of building a new nation means building a spirit of tolerance, love and respect amongst the people of this country.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

People tend to measure themselves by external accomplishments, but jail allows a person to focus on internal ones; such as honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, generosity and an absence of variety. You learn to look into yourself.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.

It's not our weaknesses that frighten us. It's our strengths.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

The very right to be human is denied every day to hundreds of millions of people as a result of poverty, the unavailability of basic necessities such as food, jobs, water and shelter, education, health care and a healthy environment.

Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.

The day I am afraid to do, that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

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.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

A society that does not value...

A society that does not value its older people denies its roots and endangers its future. Let us strive to enhance their capacity to support themselves for as long as possible and, when they cannot do so anymore, to care for them.

It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

Educating all of our children must be one of our most urgent priorities. We all know that education, more than anything else, improves our chances of building better lives.
