Nelson Mandela

"Only through hardship and sacrifice can freedom be won, and the struggle itself becomes the meaning of life."

"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society for which I am prepared, if it needs be, to die."

"Fear can freeze you in place, but taking one small step proves you are stronger than it."

"It is painful to fall after trying so hard, but staying down hurts more than getting up."

"Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge."

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

"The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."

"It always seems impossible until it's done."

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