Rus in Vrede

Nelson Mandela

There is no passion to be found playing small –
in settling for a life
that is less
than the one you are capable of living.”

– Nelson Mandela (July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013)

  1. I so admire this man–he truly lived as he spoke. Such integrity and magnanimity. Having travelled in South Africa and witnessed the brutality of apartheid, I am doubly amazed by Mandela’s capacity to forgive and embrace reconciliation. An amazing human being….

  2. The world is a better place for his being. A lasting contribution and tribute, as his energy will live on in so many.

  3. Interestingly Obama’s comments that ‘he now belongs to the ages’ is written on the Lincoln Memorial – I am sure he understood the juxtaposition – and its appropriateness.
