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

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.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

A garden was one of the few t...

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

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.

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

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

Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice... Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

Music is a great blessing. It has the power to elevate and liberate us. It sets people free to dream. It can unite us to sing with one voice. Such is the value of music.

When I went to jail, I was a trained lawyer. And when the wardens received letters of demands or summonses, they didn't have the resources to go to an attorney to help them. I would help them settle their cases, so they became attached to me and the other prisoners.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

When I walked out of the gate...

When I walked out of the gate I knew that if I continued to hate these people I was still in prison.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

If our expectations, if our fondest prayers and dreams, are not realized then we should all bear in mind that the greatest glory of living lies not in never falling but in rising every time you fall.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.

I could not imagine that the future I was walking toward could compare in any way to the past that I was leaving behind.

[I] read Anne Frank's diary [while imprisoned] on Robben Island and derived much encouragement from it.

One of the sad realities today is that very few people, especially young people, read books. Unless we can find imaginative ways of addressing this reality, future generations are in danger of losing their history.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

My respect for human beings is based not on the colour of a man’s skin nor authority he may wield, but purely on merit.

There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

The world remains beset by so much human suffering, poverty and deprivation. It is in your hands to make of our world a better one for all, especially the poor, vulnerable and marginalised.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

I knew we could improve our lives even in jail. We could come out as different men, and we could even come out with two degrees. Educating ourselves was a way to give ourselves the most powerful weapon for freedom.
