Nelson Mandela quotes

South African statesman, 1993 Nobel Prize for Peace. 1918-


A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

 

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

 

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

 

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

 

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 and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if it needs be it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

 

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

 

As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.

 

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

 

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

 

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
