Nelson Mandela

My son has died of AIDS.

Nelson Mandela

My time in prison only deepened my resolve against apartheid. Even while I was in prison, I fought against it, teaching my cellmates about white supremacy and how to fight against it.

Nelson Mandela

Negotiation and discussion are the greatest weapons we have for promoting peace and development.

Nelson Mandela

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.

Nelson Mandela

No child in Africa, and in fact anywhere in the world, should be denied education.

Nelson Mandela

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.

Nelson Mandela

No form of violence can ever be excused in a society that wishes to call itself decent.

Nelson Mandela

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Nelson Mandela

No power on this earth can destroy the thirst for human dignity.

Nelson Mandela

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.
