More From Nelson Mandela
- "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."
- "I have retired, but if there’s anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do."
- "If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness."
