Nelson Mandela, the first black President of South Africa, was an international ambassador of peace and anti-racism.

Nelson Mandela’s quotes reflected his wisdom to live by. He was imprisoned for 27 years for fighting against apartheid, a system of racial segregation. He became a symbol of resistance after his revolutionary acts against racism in South Africa.

He was more affectionately known as ‘Madiba.’ When Nelson Mandela talked about this: “I am often addressed as Madiba, my clan name, as a sign of respect.”

1. ” One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.”

2. ” Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

3. ” Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.”

4. ” A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.”

5. ” After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”

6. ” It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

7. ” Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great, you can be that generation.”

8. ” Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.”

9. ” May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

10. ” It is not where you start but how high you aim that matters for success.”

Let Madiba’s magic words become of hope and power of courage, perseverance and courage. May wisdom and powerful messages inspire us to change the world to make it a better place for you and for me.  Let us strive for a more equitable and a compassionate world.
