MEMORIAL OF WORDS-NELSON MANDELA

“One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.”
Nelson Mandela
 
“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.”
Nelson Mandela  
 
“In my country we go to prison first and then become President. ”
Nelson Mandela
 
  “I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities and a thousand unremembered moments produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people. There was no particular day on which I said, Henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.”
 
 “We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.”
Nelson Mandela
