Quotes by Nelson

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.

It always seems impossible until its done.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.

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

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

Page 14: Turning A New Leaf in Nelson Mandela life

“I Have Fought Against White Domination, And I Have

Fought Against Black Domination. I Have Cherished The Ideal

Of A Democratic And Free Society In Which All Persons Live

Together In Harmony And With Equal Opportunities. It Is An

Ideal Which I Hope To Live For And To Achieve. But If Needs

Be, It Is An Ideal For Which I Am Prepared To Die”
