"The Commonwealth makes the world safe for..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“I commend #AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the #future #business #leadership of our countries.”

“Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.”

“There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.”

“Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.”

“There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors; and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man's heart and soul, the man's worth and actions, determine his standing.”

“It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?”

“A novel is a work of poetry. In order to write it, one must have tranquility of spirit and of impression.”

“But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees”

“The message of reconciliation, of nation-building, of granting amnesty, indemnity, has struck a powerful, favorable chord. And people can understand that we're here not for purposes of retribution but to forget the past and to build our country.”
