President Mandela was not a hands-on president at any time  (Mandela Quotes) Mandela? He lasted 27 years in prison but he never could’ve done 30  (Mandela Quotes) After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela  (Mandela Quotes) Mandela once told me that he lived on hatred when he went into prison because he was young and he was being abused and he was out there cracking those rocks all day and he said after about 11 years he realized that they’d already taken about everything they could take from him except his mind and his heart  (Mandela Quotes) It was an honour for me to have been able to work with Mr. Mandela in the process that led to the adoption of the interim constitution and our first democratic elections in April 1994.  (Mandela Quotes) From Gandhi to Mandela, from the American patriot to the Polish shipbuilders, the makers of revolutions have not come from the top.  (Mandela Quotes) The leaders who we admire who have been able to bring great change in the past - Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela - they’re all inspirational religious leaders and smart tacticians. It would be nice to find the Muslim Gandhi, wouldn’t it?  (Mandela Quotes) The relationship between me and President Mandela right at the beginning was not a very well-established relationship. It was based on two meetings.  (Mandela Quotes) I had the honor to meet Nelson Mandela, and I heard him explain his forgiveness of his captors of 27 years by saying hatred and bitterness is destructive - the power is in love and forgiveness.  (Mandela Quotes) We’re trained to see the world in terms of charismatic organizations and charismatic people. That’s who we look to for leadership and change, for transformation. We’re awaiting the next J.F.K., the next Martin Luther King, the next Gandhi, the next Nelson Mandela.  (Mandela Quotes) Mandela is just the eternal man. You want that man to be around forever. It’s the closest thing we have to God, I think. He’s the father of mankind, almost.  (Mandela Quotes) Mandela has played a crucial part in history. He’s done some extraordinary things, not only for his country but also for the whole world.  (Mandela Quotes) I’ve tended to lean more toward the Dalai Lama and people like Russell Means who have been my political and spiritual North Stars, but I certainly regard Nelson Mandela with great respect and humility.  (Mandela Quotes) True leaders are willing to die for their dreams. They don’t oppress with ignorance; they impress with visions. They live like Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela  (Mandela Quotes) Peace on earth and good will toward men - that is something we need to work on. Like Nelson Mandela, we should learn from him.  (Mandela Quotes) Nelson Mandela is physically separated from us, but his soul and spirit will never die. He belongs to the whole world because he is an icon of equality, freedom and love, the values we need all the time everywhere.  (Mandela Quotes) I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skin color.  (Mandela Quotes) From the beginning, Mandela and Tambo was besieged with clients. We were not the only African lawyers in South Africa, but we were the only firm of African lawyers. For Africans, we were the firm of first choice and last resort.  (Mandela Quotes) When I first met Mandela, we did not discuss anything of substance; we just felt each other out. He spent a long time expressing his admiration for the Boer generals and how ingenious they were during the Anglo-Boer war.  (Mandela Quotes) I have always had great respect for former president Mandela. The personal sacrifices he made in order to achieve what was right for the people of South Africa is something I carry with me every day.  (Mandela Quotes) There were only 3 people that I wanted to meet in life, Nelson Mandela was one of them. What a life, what a journey, what a man. Thank you for passing this way! God bless your resting soul!  (Mandela Quotes) My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela. What a man. Incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990 and he hasn’t reoffended. I think he’s going straight, which shows you prison does work.  (Mandela Quotes) Of course, Nelson Mandela, everybody knows Nelson Mandela. I mean, he’s a great gift not only for Africa but for the whole world, actually. But do not expect everybody to be a Nelson Mandela.  (Mandela Quotes) From Gandhi to Mandela, from the American patriot to the Polish shipbuilders, the makers of revolutions have not come from the top  (Mandela Quotes) Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, he was an angry, relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released, he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge  (Mandela Quotes) As far as those kinds of things, I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release  (Mandela Quotes) Mandela once phoned me out of the blue while he was still president, and at first he played with me a bit  (Mandela Quotes) When my daughter was born, I called her Ella Bella Mandela, because she was born the day after Mandela was released from prison  (Mandela Quotes) Of course, Nelson Mandela, everybody knows Nelson Mandela. I mean, he’s a great gift not only for Africa but for the whole world, actually. But do not expect everybody to be a Nelson Mandela  (Mandela Quotes) One of them would definitely be the Nelson Mandela gig, when I played the tribute song for him. He was up and dancing, and he really enjoyed it. It was a really lovely occasion  (Mandela Quotes)
