Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way. Universal suffrage on a common voters' roll in a united, democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.

I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life; I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

It is my greatest wish that the Children’s Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.

It is my deepest conviction that the children should be seen and heard as our most treasured assets.

The death sentence is a barbaric act.

Do not allow your anger to control your reason, but rather your reason to control your anger.
