Nelson Mandela also spoke about how, as a human being, he's made mistakes.

Struggles only move forward when decent men and women step forward and say, 'enough is enough and no more.'

[Nelson] Mandela was very keen not to be understood as an exceptional person.

Nelson Mandela was just a human being, a person like other people, and everyone relaxed. Within a minute, that sort of thing about the leader and the lead, the gap was closed, and that's a rare thing.

The city of Copenhagen is a climate crime scene tonight, with the guilty men and women fleeing to the airport in shame.

In the end they produced a poor deal full of loopholes big enough to fly Air Force One through.

Nelson Mandela once said "I can't help it if the ladies take note of me; I'm not going to protest."
