"Our march to freedom is irreversible. We..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all.”

“I hate racial discrimination most intensely and all its manifestations. I have fought all my life; I fight now, and will do so until the end of my days. Even although I now happen to be tried by one, whose opinion I hold in high esteem, I detest most violently the set-up that surrounds me here. It makes me feel that I am a Black man in a White man's court. This should not be I should feel perfectly at ease and at home with the assurance that I am being tried by a fellow South African, who does not regard me as an inferior, entitled to a special type of justice.”

“I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.”

“It would be easier to subjugate the entire universe through force than the minds of a single village.”

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”

“The ultimate victory of tomorrow is democracy, and through democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved.”

“But what if all the tranquility, all the comfort, all the contentment were now to come to a horrifying end?”

“Let the end of the world be inside you, then you don't need to fear the end of the world out there.”

“All golfers fear the one-iron. It has no angle, no loft. The one-iron is a confidence-crusher, a fear trip, an almost guarantee of shame, failure, dumbness and humiliation if you ever use it in public.”
