"I made a mistake by being ejected..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“No matter what the past has dealt you, don't let it destroy your future.”

“Each of us, as citizens, has a role to play in creating a better world for our children”

“But the hard facts were that fifty years of non-violence had brought the African people nothing but more and more repressive legislation, and fewer and fewer rights.”

“Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.”

“Governments keep their promises only when they are forced, or when it is to their advantage to do so.”

“I am of the opinion which you have always held, that "viva voce" voting at elections is the best method.[Lat., Nam ego in ista sum sententia, qua te fuisse semper scio, nihil ut feurit in suffragiis voce melius.]”

“A dollar put into a book and a book mastered might change the whole course of a boy's life. It might easily be the beginning of the development of leadership that would carry the boy far in service to his fellow men.”

“As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.”

“There is nothing to popularize a person. Only humility, which is the ability to remain in the background and to put others in the front light.”
