Here, then, are some of
Mandela’s clear and inspiring words:
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there
are many more hills to climb.”

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

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that
comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of
being an optimist 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 lies
defeat and death.”

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall.”

“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.”

“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.”

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would
lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my
bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.”

“Honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, pure
generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve
others – qualities which are within easy reach of
every soul – are the foundation of one’s spiritual life.”

“There is no passion to be found in playing small –
settling for a life that is less than the one you are
capable of living.”

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul
than the way in which it treats its children.”

“Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the sake
of peace.”

“Our human compassion binds us to one another –
not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who
have learnt how to turn our common suffering into
hope for the future.”

“No one is born hating another person because of the
color of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to
hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more
naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

I feel so honored to be the first to comment. All
of my hardwork and dedication has paid off.
Getting the top comment has been a dream of
mine for many years, and i would like to thank
those who have helped me along the way. First
and foremost i would like to thank god for giving
me this opportunity. Next i would like to thank
my parents. I would also like to thank my pet
tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a
week. Next i wouldlike to thank the squirrel that
lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that i need to get
through the day.This is a special moment in my
life and i would like to thank any of my
unmentioned friends and family that have helped
me along the way. This moment will be a
moment that i will never forget. I just
remembered a few other people i would like to
thank; Nairaland, the fish i caught in the third
grade, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be
able to see the keyboard without it, the internet
for letting me go on Nairaland, my house
because without it i would be homeless, and last
but not least i would like to thank all the people
out there that actually took time out of their day
to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big
deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the
first comment on a post for years, but that has
not been possible until this amazing day.
Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is
undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me
how i did this, i would say, you can achieve
anything u set your mind on. To all the kids out
there reading this, i would like to tell them to
follow their dreams. Being the first to comment
is amazing, thank you everyone

...People learn to hate, and if they learn to hate they can be taught to love...
Mandela.

(The above touches my soul)

In full

Nobody is born hating another person because of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate they can be taught to love for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite...NM
