» More quotes about: Leadership

Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.

» More quotes about: Courage | Peace

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

» More quotes about: Courage | Fear

Any man or institution that tries to rob me of my dignity will lose.

» More quotes about: Dignity

» More quotes about: Education | Citizenship

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

» More quotes about: Education | Change

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.

» More quotes about: Education

I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists.

» More quotes about: Enemies

At the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African

» More quotes about: Experience | Africa

There is no such thing as part freedom.

» More quotes about: Freedom

The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.

» More quotes about: Freedom | Africa

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

» More quotes about: Freedom

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

» More quotes about: Freedom

Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.

» More quotes about: Freedom

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

» More quotes about: Freedom | Human Rights

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.

» More quotes about: Future | Humankind | Hope

Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.

» More quotes about: Violence

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.

» More quotes about: Leadership | Arrogance

I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

» More quotes about: Peace | Africa | Dreams

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

» More quotes about: Success

There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, and ridden with terminal disease.

It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.

» More quotes about: Persuasion

It always seems impossible until its done.

» More quotes about: Impossibility | Success

I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.

» More quotes about: Israel

Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.

» More quotes about: Leadership | Mistakes

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.

» More quotes about: Leadership | Victory

I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.

» More quotes about: Leadership

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

» More quotes about: Leadership

I was first imprisoned in Pretoria, and then, thereafter, I was taken to Robben Island. I stayed there for a couple of weeks. I was taken back to Pretoria when I was charged in the Rivonia trial, when I was then sent to Robben Island for life.

I will not leave South Africa, nor will I surrender. Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.

» More quotes about: Life | Freedom | Africa

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

» More quotes about: Life

» More quotes about: Africa

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Even if you have a terminal disease, you don't have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.

» More quotes about: Life | Hope

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

» More quotes about: Health

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, e

There are so many men and women who hold no distinctive positions but whose contribution towards the development of society has been enormous.

» More quotes about: Society

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.

» More quotes about: Money | Freedom | Success

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 o

» More quotes about: Peace | Society

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

» More quotes about: Family | Leadership

When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.

» More quotes about: Endurance

Whatever position I occupied, it was the result of colleagues - of my comrades in the movement - who had decided in their wisdom to use me for the purpose of focusing the attention of the country and the international community on me.
