Madiba

“A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.”

"It always seems impossible until it's done."

“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”

"People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love."

RIP Nelson Mandela.
