nelson mandela

so this has nothing to do with any books or movies, but in the face of nelson mandela's death i feel the pressing desire to post some of my favorite quotes of his. what a beautiful, wonderful man.

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

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

"There is no such thing as part freedom."

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

"...Your freedom and mine cannot be separated."

"As I walked out the door to my freedom I knew that if I did not leave all the anger, hatred, and bitterness behind that I would still be in prison."

"There is no passion to be found in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

"It always seems impossible until it's done."

"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 fear."

"Don't judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again."

"Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming. But vision with action can change the world."
