"Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

“It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism”

“For me, survival is the ability to cope with difficulties, with circumstances, and to overcome them.”

“Hope is a powerful weapon, and (one) no one power on earth can deprive you of.”

“Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.”

“Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw.”

“If man is to be liberated to enjoy more leisure, he must also be prepared to enjoy this leisure fully and creatively.”

“I feel many problems that we are facing, are man-made problems, we have too much emphasis on this secondary thing, forgetting our foundation. At foundation, we are the same human being and we are sharing the same planet. Six billion human beings' future is my future and my future is never separate from the future of six billion human beings.”

“All B.S. aside, it all comes down to... we got to survive. I mean, even warriors put their spears down on Sundays. We got to survive here in this country... 'cause I'm not going back to Africa. We got to survive here. And for us to survive here-White folks, Black folks, Korean folks, Mexican folks, Puerto Ricans-we got to understand each other.”

“But here's the joy: my friend and I are one, Sweet flattery!”
