my dignity

Any man or institution that tries to rob me of my dignity will lose.

- Nelson Mandela

good head, good heart

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

- Nelson Mandela 

live in the present

Forget the past.

- Nelson Mandela 

rob me of my dignity

Any man or institution that tries to rob me of my dignity will lose.

- Nelson Mandela

no such thing

There is no such thing as part freedom.

- Nelson Mandela

for all

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

capable of living

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.

- Nelson Mandela 

he becomes your partner

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

- Nelson Mandela
