Nelson Mandela

"It always seems impossible until its done."
"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable
combination."
"Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will."
"After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are
many more hills to climb."
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to
change the world."
"I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing,
whether it comes from a black man or a white man."
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the
triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who
conquers that fear."
"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than
the way in which it treats its children."
"There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us
will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again
before we reach the mountaintop of our desires."
"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."
"We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is
always ripe to do right."
