There is nothing like returning to a place

that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have

altered.

~ Nelson Mandela ~

We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.

~ Nelson Mandela ~

“Our greatest fear is not that we are

inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond

measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask

ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,

handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually,

who are you not to be?You are a child of

God.”

"The greatest glory in living lies

not in never falling, but in

rising every time we fall."

Nelson Mandela

"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."

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a

human achievement.

~ Nelson Mandela ~

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with

itself.

~ Nelson Mandela ~

We were born to make manifest the glory of

God within us. It is not just in some; it

is in everyone. And, as we let our own

light shine, we consciously give other

people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our

presence automatically liberates others.
