Nelson Mandela was one of the African's greatest figures we ever knew. The former South Africa's president was not only well-known as a politician, he was also known as a philanthropist and the one who really care about education. For some people, Mandela was a teacher
As a world class leader, Mandela was known for his closeness to the number of figures, including Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. Nelson Mandela has passed away, but all people will always remember him as a great leader
Nelson Mandela had some awards, including Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. To remind you to the figure of Nelson Mandela, I've listed the top quotes from him on freedom and and education
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.
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.
Where globalization means, as it so often does, that the rich and powerful now have new means to further enrich and empower themselves at the cost of the poorer and weaker, we have a responsibility to protest in the name of universal freedom.
I will not leave South Africa, nor will I surrender. Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.
Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the freedom of the individual will truly mean the freedom of the individual.
The names of Dingane and Bambata, Hintsa and Makana, Squngthi and Dalasile, Moshoeshoe and Sekhukhuni, were praised as the glory of the entire African nation. I hoped then that life might offer me the opportunity to serve my people and make my own humble contribution to their freedom struggle.
There is no such thing as part freedom.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.
