NELSON MANDELA QUOTES IN ENGLISH

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

“I am the captain of my soul.”

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

“I never lose. I either win or learn.”

“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.”

“Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.”

“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.”

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” HAPPY ANNIVERSARY QUOTES GIRLFRIEND

“Courage is 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.”

“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.”

“I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent.”

“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.”

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

“I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.”

“Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms must be established on a non-discriminatory basis, with due regard for the importance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds.”

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

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”

“Do not consider yourself superior to others simply because you are reunited with your family and home while they are still in exile. Remember that you were once in prison and that now, you are free and able to lead a meaningful life.”

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
