Bivši predsjednik Južnoafričke Republike Nelson Mandela i ikona borbe protiv rasizma, nije bio samo velik političar i borac za slobodu i ljudska prava. Mandela je bio i velik čovjek čije se izjave često citiraju.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela preminuo je u četvrtak navečer, u 95. godini života. Iza sebe je ostavio veliko nasljeđe, a gotovo da nema kutka na svijetu, koji o tom čovjeku nema lijepu riječ.
Mandela je svijetu, zauzvrat, ostavio mnogo izrečenih mudrosti, kako životnih, tako i političkih. Njegove najpoznatije citate možete pronaći OVDJE.
