Nelson Mandela

When I read quotes by Nelson Mandela I am struck by how powerful, inspiring and beautiful his sentiments are.  Although he was my president I did not realize what a beautiful mind he has. I feel so fortunate to have been alive and in South Africa when he was freed and became president.  I hope that his words and life are an inspiration to all to strive for peace and equality on earth, to work bravely for the oppressed.
