Nelson Mandela

learning from the past

A man who arose from the ashes of his mistakes to live and be something that people associate with good. Something admirable. Someone who has shown us that life doesn't end at 44, 81 or even 92. It ends when we die. And that we should live fully, with purpose and with no regrets- only lessons learnt. 

*

"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."

*

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

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

Happy 92nd Birthday Mr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
