Nelson Mandela

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation.

There is nothing like returing to a place that remains uncganged to find how you yourself have altered.
