Nelson Mandela

I have never regarded any man as my superior, either in my life outside or inside prison.

Nelson Mandela

I learned that to humiliate another person is to make him suffer an unnecessarily cruel fate. Even as a boy, I defeated my opponents without dishonoring them.

Nelson Mandela

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

Nelson Mandela

If there is anything I kept on stressing it was that people should not have exaggerated expectations, that to address their concerns is not something that can be done overnight.

Nelson Mandela

If you are stimulated by what you do, you never get tired.

Nelson Mandela

If you don’t intend having a compromise, you don’t negotiate at all.

Nelson Mandela

If you make one gift this year, make it the gift of knowledge.

Nelson Mandela

It is a precious virtue to try to make others happy and to forget their worries.

Nelson Mandela

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.

Nelson Mandela

It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.

Nelson Mandela
