"My respect for human beings is based..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.”

“I found solitary confinement the most forbidding aspect of prison life. There is no end and no beginning; there is only one's mind, which can begin to play tricks. Was that a dream or did it really happen? One begins to question everything.”

“I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.”

“We cannot meet 21st Century challenges with a 20th Century bureaucracy.”

“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”

“After you get your freedom, your enemy will respect you.”

“What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!”

“Unarmed love is the most powerful force in all the world.”

“We're all dreamers.”
