"It's in your hands to make the..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“In many respects, people on the outside suffered more than those of us in jail. In prison, we ate three times a day, we had clothing, we had free medical services, and we could sleep for 12 hours.”

“That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess.”

“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 don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

“If you leave your art, the world will beat you back to it. The world has not an ambition worth sharing, or a prize worth handling.”

“The other side of the globe is but the home of our correspondent. Our voyaging is only great-circle sailing.”

“One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.”

“Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.”

“Others are Ahead of me. I am continually Challenged. My focus is Forward. The atmosphere is Affirming. I am often out of my Comfort Zone. I wake up Excited. Failure is not my Enemy. Others are Growing. People desire Change. Growth is Modeled and Expected.”
