Long Road To Freedom
“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made
missteps along the way. But I have
discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that
there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment to rest, to steal a
view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I
have come. But I can rest only for a
moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my
long walk is not yet ended.”
Nelson Mandela

Robbed of Humanity

humanity.”
Nelson Mandela

To Be Free
“I was not born with a hunger to be free. I was born free – free in every way that I
could know.”
Nelson Mandela

A Prisoner of Hatred
“A man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of
hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness.”
Nelson Mandela

Obligations
“In life, every man has twin obligations – obligations to his
family, to his parents, to his wife and children; and he has an obligation to
his people, his community, his country.”
Nelson Mandela
1918-2013
