More quotes by Nelson Mandela

"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."
"Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening."
"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies."
"Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future."
"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."
