I tell them that I was also a terrorist yesterday, but, today, I am admired by the very people who said I was one.
NELSON MANDELA, Larry King Live, May 16, 2000
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

NELSON MANDELA, speech, May 10, 1994
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
