Nelson Mandela Quotes

"Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.""A winner is a dreamer who never gives up""Difficulties break some men but make others""There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.""I never lose. I either win or learn.""It always seems impossible until it's done.""When people are determined they can overcome anything""One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.""We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference""If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner""There is nothing more difficult than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things""One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.""It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.""No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion.""Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening.""There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.""It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.""It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. ""Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.""There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile for us to continue talking peace and non-violence against a government whose reply is only savage attacks on an unarmed and defenseless people"
