A government which uses force to maintain its rule teaches the oppressed to use force to oppose it.
Nelson MandelaOur children are our greatest treasure. They are our future. Those who abuse them tear at the fabric of our society and weaken our nation.
Nelson MandelaOur efforts to counter hatred, intolerance, and indifference must continue simultaneously at individual and structural levels. We must try to influence for good the minds and hearts of individual people through dialogue and confidence building. These efforts must be reinforced by our efforts to create just structures in society to support the ongoing work of negotiations in the human community. Only then will we have a chance to negate the terrible consequences of the tremendous conflicts facing humankind today.
Nelson Mandela
