“One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.”

“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.”

“In my country we go to prison first and then become President. ”

“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
