曼德拉语录

　　1、我履行了我对我的人民和南非的职责。我毫不怀疑后代将恢复我的名誉，同样我要说，应当站在这个法庭上的罪犯是政府的成员。

　　3、“你克林顿如果不高兴就跳进游泳池去吧！”——曼德拉最不喜欢别人对南非指手画脚，年月克林顿访问南非，在联合记者招待会上，曼德拉公开表示南非将与古巴伊朗利比亚持续密切关系，并宣布不久将出访伊朗，令与其并肩站在一齐的克林顿大为尴尬。

　　5、压迫者和被压迫者一样需要获得解放。夺走别人自由的人是仇恨的囚徒，他被偏见和短视的铁栅囚禁着。

　　7、没有人生来就因为皮肤颜色出生地或宗教信仰去恨另一个人。恨需要学习，既然人们能够学会恨，那么同样能够教会他们爱。爱比恨更容易走进人类的内心。

　　9、民主要求尊重少数人的政治权利。

　　11、让黑人和白人成为兄弟，南非才能繁荣发展

　　13、“别担心，放简单，要快乐！”——岁的曼德拉依然精神矍铄，性格开朗。在这位尝过近年牢狱之苦的老人心中，自由就是幸福。·“从今往后，我的生活添加了两个重要资料，第一个是格拉萨，第二个是到莫桑比克吃大虾。”——曼德拉与莫桑比克前总统遗孀相伴晚年。

　　15、在那漫长而孤独的岁月中，我对自我的人民获得自由的渴望变成了一种对所有人，包括白人和黑人，都获得自由的渴望。——曼德拉对战争与和平拥有独特的认识。

　　17、“我已经把我的一生奉献给了非洲人民的斗争，我为反对白人种族统治进行斗争，我也为反对黑人专制而斗争。我怀有一个建立民主和自由社会的完美理想，在这样的社会里，所有人都和睦相处，有着平等的.机会。我期望为这一理想而活着，并去实现它。但如果需要的话，我也准备为它献出生命。”——年被判终身监禁时，曼德拉将审讯法庭变成了揭露种族隔离制度罪恶和唤醒广大民众的讲坛。他那长达个小时的声明是这样结束的。

　　19、最大的荣耀不是永不跌倒，而是跌到后总能站起来。

　　21、如果你想跟你的敌人和解，就要和他共同工作。
