A political movement must keep in touch with reality and the prevailing conditions. Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables, and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organization and the struggle we serve.
Nelson MandelaWhose life testifies to the truth that there is no shame in being oppressed: Those who should be ashamed are they who oppress others.
Nelson MandelaYou mustn't compromise your principles, but you mustn't humiliate the opposition. No one is more dangerous than one who is humiliated.
