Nelson Mandela -- Bringing It All Back Home

July 18, 1918 - December 5, 2013

If I had my time over I would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man.

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

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.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life; I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

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

It always seems impossible until it is done.
