Nelson Mandela hegoafrikarraren heriotzak bost kontinenteetako herritarren arreta bereganatu du.Benetako liderra hitzaren zentzu guztietan eta bere itzalean jende asko aritu zen lanean.
Hona hemen Mandelak adierazitako esaldi ospetsu batzuk:
- Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
- The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
- A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
- It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
- If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
- It always seems impossible until it's done.
- Lead from the back _ and let others believe they are in front.
- Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
- Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
- It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.
- Appearances matter _ and remember to smile.
