The wisdom of Nelson Mandela: quotes from the most inspiring leader of the 20th century ? Quartz

sigh-I don't pretend to know everything about Nelson Mandela--

he had some insights--did what he could--hated by some, loved by others--an individual

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” —Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

How long before the left media will start comparing Obama to Mandela?

He wasn't going to live forever. The man has been on his deathbed for a year or more.

Can we stop politicizing this man's death please? Geez. Why do people feel the need to make politics out of death? He's one of the iconic figures of the 20th Century, and all we can do is how it impacts us politically? For pete's sakes, knock it off.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion,” he wrote in “Long Walk to Freedom.”
“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.”

Rest in peace, Nelson.

[Sarah G]

Rest in Peace, Nelson. You were a great, great, man.

He was a communist. ..

And still with that, a guy like you isn't worth even a hundredth of a guy like him.

Goodbye Mandela. Thanks for showing the world equality can be won without violence, and forgiveness trumps revenge.
