«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.» Nelson
Mandela spoke these words from the dock at the Rivonia Treason Trial on 
April 20, 1964. Through his words and actions ever since, Mandela has 
been embraced worldwide as a symbol of courage, hope, and 
reconciliation.

South African journalist Jennifer Crwys-Williams
has compiled a collection of Mandela's observations, culled from a 
variety of sources. In the Words of Nelson Mandela presents his 
thoughts on subjects as diverse as humanity, friendship, oppression, and
freedom. These quotations provide valuable insight into the man and all
he stands for. By turns moving, revealing, humorous, and wise,
Mandela's words eloquently convey his warmth and dignity; his thoughts,
though brief, contain enormous depth-"One minute can change the world,"
for example-and are certain to inspire and give strength to all who read
them.

    We must not continue to be debating, to be arguing, when people are dying.
  • MYAT HNIN WAIhas quoted9 years ago
    What nature has decreed should not generate undue insecurity.
    I am nearing my end. I want to be able to sleep until eternity with a broad smile on my face, knowing that the youth, opinion-makers and everybody is stretched across the divide, trying to unite the nation.
