Sport has the power to change the world... Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.

We forgive but not forgotten

Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.

Extremists on all sides thrive, fed by the blood lust of centuries gone by.

We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity — a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.

Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.

Times change, we need to change as well.
