Nelson Mandela: “Yes, sanctions were helpful, but sanctions are not enough if you do not have a strong indigenous democratic movement in…”

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

You can call it being political, or a moral question, but anybody who changes his principles depending on with whom he is dealing? That is not a man who can lead a nation.

If it need be, it is an idea for which I am prepared to die.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
