As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead me to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.
Poverty is not an accident.
Like slavery and apartheid it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.
A winner is a dreamer
who never gives up.
It always seems impossible
until it's done.
I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angels.
Let your greatness bloom.
I never lose.
I either win or learn.
Do not judge me by my success,
judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
May your choices reflect
your hopes not your fears.
Courageous people do not fear forgiving,
for the sake of peace.
There can be no greater gift
than that of giving one's time
and energy to help others
without expecting
anything in return.
The greatest glory in living
lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall.
We must use time wisely
and forever realise that the
time is always ripe to do right.
A good head and a good heart
are always a formidable
combination.
