As the world celebrates the one year of the passing on of the legend and anti-apartheid hero,The lion of Africa and The first black president of south Africa, Nelson Mandela. He lived life on the principle of struggle,freedom and total elimination of discrimination of Blacks worldwide. Indeed, Madiba left his footprints on the sands of time due to his countless achievement and very few men have touched the world as He did. He has been an inspiration and a success lesson to Many worldwide...
To pay homage to this great hero...I present top 19 Mandela's quote...I hope this will inspire us to keep the ball rolling and never quench the fire of hardwork,resilience and determination.

During his lifetime Mandela inspired us with his numerous
words of wisdom, etched in our memories till tomorrow. And his
words remain evergreen:
1. I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from
nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is
keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet
moving forward. There were many dark moments when my
faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and
could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat
and death.
2. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the
triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel
afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
3. Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is
sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on
trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the
end.
4. It always seems impossible until it’s done.
5. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his
people and his country, he can rest in peace.
6. Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of
their people.
7. A fundamental concern for others in our individual and
community lives would go a long way in making the world
the better place we so passionately dreamt of.
8. Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve
success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what
they do.
9. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use
to change the world.
10. For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to
live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of
others.
11. Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many
times I fell down and got back up again.
12. 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.
13. Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.
14. We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is
always ripe to do right.
15. Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never
extinguished
16. Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will
kill your enemies.
17. I like friends who have independent minds because they
tend to make you see problems from all angles.
18. A good head and a good heart are always a formidable
combination.
19. When people are determined they can overcome anything.

wow i can't just believe this

When a man has done what he considers to be
his duty to his
people and his country, he can rest in peace...ds quote wl b d standard in Nig..may dose who av not don dr duty in ds Naija;may dey never experience peace now nd their fourth generations.

Dear Mandela, " A man will always be remember for two things, the problem you solved, and the one you created ". You are always remeber for your brave heart, your kindness and your good work. As we celebrate a year of your glorious transition , I pray for you to be forever in thy blossom of thy lord.

Wonderful Quotes.

no 11 tho....
got me cracking...

I read "long walk to freadom" in my final year in high sch. I was so lucky to hav come across that book. It became my guiding beacon as I surged thro the tumultuous life providence provided me in my days as a real-man-wanna-be. There is no greater book about a man inlove with his people and humanity! For the book I owe great appreciation to Amb. Ampim Darku Blankson who had worked in many countries as an envoy and had been kind. "From long walk I discovered a short cut"
