There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling... - Nelson Mandela

"I cannot say for certain if there is such a thing as love at first sight, but I do know that the moment I first glimpsed Winnie Nomzamo, I knew that I wanted to have her as my wife."

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

"I am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope."

"A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."

"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."
