There are people here [in South Africa] who, whatever the debate is on a particular issue, their dominating idea is that at the end of the debate we must emerge stronger than we were before and closer to one another.

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.

Know your enemy - and learn about his favorite sport.

Freedom alone is not enough without light to read at night, without time or access to water to irrigate your farm, without the ability to catch fish to feed your family.

Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.
