Greece is the mother of democracy and South Africa is its youngest daughter

I found solitary confinement the most forbidding aspect of prison life. There is no end and no beginning; there is only one's mind, which can begin to play tricks. Was that a dream or did it really happen? One begins to question everything.

For a revolution is not just a question of pulling a trigger; its purpose is to create a fair just society

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

Although Verwoerd thought Africans were lower than animals, his death did not yield us any pleasure. Political assassination is not something I or the ANC ever supported. It is a primitive way of contending with an opponent

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

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.

There's no such thing as part freedom.

If you want to change the world, help the women.

In some ways, I saw the garden...

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

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

We can't fight AIDS unless we do much more to fight TB as well.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strenthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

If you make one gift this year, make it the gift of knowledge.

Nelson Mandela 689 quotes

We cannot blame other people for our troubles. We are not victims of the influx of foreign people into South Africa. We must remember that it was mainly due to the aggressive and hostile policies of the apartheid regime that the economic development of our neighbours was undermined.

Even behind prison walls I can see the heavy clouds and the blue sky over the horizon

Why is the United States behaving so arrogantly? All that (Mr. Bush) wants is Iraqi oil.

We owe our children Ђ' the most vulnerable citizens in any society Ђ' a life free from violence and fear.
