Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela. A man who sacrificed his life for others. A man of peace, a man of wisdom, a man of love, and a man of courage…what an amazing man!

My favourite quotes by Mr. Mandela

#UnitedAfrica

“I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.” -Mandela

#Peace

“During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to the struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” – Mandela

#Love

“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.” -Mandela

#Education=Success

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

#FaceYourfears

“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.” -Mandela

God bless you brave man!
