In memory of Nelson Mandela

In memory of Nelson Mandela, a fierce advocate for freedom, justice and equality.

His memorable quotes:

• Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
• 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.
• A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
• 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.
• If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
• 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.
• If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
• There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
