NELSON MANDELA QUOTES ABOUT LIFE

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

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

“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.”

“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”

“I detest racialism because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.”

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

“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.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

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

“I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people.”

“I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”

“One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.”

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

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

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

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

“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.”

“Sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

“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.”

“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.”
