Nelson Mandela — May His Words Live In Our Memories



Here are more of his memorable quotes on education, global health and poverty.   
· “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” 
· “No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.” 
· “Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, 
   but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope 
   for the future.” 
· “I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in 
   their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, 
   of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.” 
· “Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because the only way to make it 
   appear like a normal illness like TB, like cancer, is always to come out and say 
   somebody has died because of HIV/AIDS, and people will stop regarding it as 
   something extraordinary.”
· “If you are poor, you are not likely to live long.”
· “There is nothing I fear more than waking up without a program that will help me 
   bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, 
   and ridden with terminal disease.”
