(Over the next several months I am focusing on individual authors
rather than themes. Hopefully each of the five quotes will be
enlightening and inspiring, providing hope in the human condition.)
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.
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when
you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very
special.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
The curious beauty of African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a
sad tale. You may be poor, you may have only a ramshackle house, you
may have lost your job, but that song gives you hope.
~Quotes by Nelson Mandela
