“Peace is not just the absence of
conflict; peace is the creation of an environment where all can flourish,
regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, gender, class, caste, or any other
social markers of difference. Religion, ethnicity, language, social and
cultural practices are elements which enrich human civilization, adding to the
wealth of our diversity. Why should they be allowed to become a cause of
division, and violence? We demean our common humanity by allowing that to
happen”. –Nelson Mandela

“Freedom is indivisible; the chains on
any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my
people were the chains on me.” –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

“I am fundamentally an optimist.
Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic
is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There
were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would
not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” –Nelson
Mandela

“As I walked out the door toward the
gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and
hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.” –Nelson Mandela
·
“Reposará en la estepa la equidad, y la justicia morará
en el vergel; el producto de la justicia será la paz, el fruto de la equidad,
una seguridad perpetua”. --Isaías 32:16-17

“La misión del
alma humana es darle al hombre oportunidades iguales frente a las desigualdades
de la geografía, de la naturaleza, de la historia.” –Luis Muñoz Marín
