Nelson Mandela — "A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its low…"

"Mass incarceration is a system of racial control."

"To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."

"Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end."

"It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences."

"The nationalisation of the mines, banks, and monopoly industries is the policy of the ANC, and a change or modification of our views in this regard is inconceivable."
