Today we celebrate a man, who helped unify a nation that could have torn apart at the seams. In honor of Nelson Mandela I'd like to share some of his quotes:
If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
There is no such thing as part freedom.
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
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.
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.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
In my country we go to prison first and then become president.
