In Memory of Nelson Mandela
The following are the quotations (his own words) from Nelson Mandela, an inspiring, remarkable person who changed the world. He is a reconciler of white and black.
"No one is born hating anther person because 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."
"One of the things I learned..until I changed myself, I could not change others.”
"As I walked toward my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness behind, I'd still be in prison"
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same"
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
"The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
“Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.”
“It always seems impossible until it's done.”
“Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s inspiring others to move beyond it.”
“Tread Softly, Breathe Peacefully, Laugh Hysterically.”
“I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
“Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.”
“A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones”
CNN: President Barack Obama ordered American flags to be lowered immediately to half-staff until Monday in tribute to Mandela, a rare honor for a foreign leader.
"A man who took history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice." - Amrican President Barack Obama
"Nelson Mandela was a champion for justice & human dignity, with unmatched grace. I'll remember him as Madiba, truly an unconquerable soul." - Hillary Clinton (former U.S. Secratary of State and former American first lady)
