Nelson MandelaDoes anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?
Nelson MandelaThe truth is that we are not yet free; we have merely achieved the freedom to be free, the right not to be oppressed. We have not taken the final step of our journey, but the first step on a longer and even more difficult road. For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. The true test of our devotion to freedom is just beginning.
