Thank you Madiba - We remember

Long Walk to Freedom

Nelson Mandela “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Nelson Mandela (b. 1918), released from 27 years in prison 20 years ago today.
"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."
"As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”
"There is no passion to be found playing small, in setting for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."
Thank you Madiba, you give us home. God helps us to walk in your shoes
