"We have introduced a rule of law..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela

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

“The call now is for each of us to ask ourselves: are we doing all we can to help build the country of our dreams?”

“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”

“Certain other societies may respect the rule of force--we respect the rule of law.”

“We want a Supreme Court which will do justice under the Constitution - not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men.”

“Third, and finally, the educated citizen has an obligation to uphold the law. This is the obligation of every citizen in a free and peaceful society--but the educated citizen has a special responsibility by the virtue of his greater understanding. For whether he has ever studied history or current events, ethics or civics, the rules of a profession or the tools of a trade, he knows that only a respect for the law makes it possible for free men to dwell together in peace and progress.”

“Chairman Mao once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. He was only partly right: power that comes from the barrel of a gun can be effective only for a short time. In the end, peoples love for truth, justice, freedom, and democracy will triumph. No matter what governments do, the human spirit will always prevail.”

“No matter how you seem to fatten on a crime, there can never be good for the bee which is bad for the hive.”

“The firm basis of government is justice, not pity.”
