Mandela's Quote

1. Rasis

I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life; I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days.

2. Kesulitan

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

3. Kematian

Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity'.

4. Moral

Those who conduct themselves with morality, integrity and consistency need not fear the forces of inhumanity and cruelty.

5. Keberanian

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.... The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

6. Perjuangan

During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. 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.

7. Penjara

Prison itself is a tremendous education in the need for patience and perseverance. It is above all a test of one's commitment.

8. Musuh

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

9. Kebencian

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.

10. Kebebasan

Only free men can negotiate, prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
