Farewell, Madiba (1918 – 2013)

“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” ― Nelson Mandela

“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 that fear.” ― Nelson Mandela

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom.

“You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.”
― Nelson Mandela

“We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” ― Nelson Mandela

Rest in Peace, Nelson Mandela.
You were a Good Man, an Inspiration, a great example of Love and you made a difference in the World.
