Nelson Mandela's Words of Wisdom

I stayed home from church today since I'm sick, so I've been reading quotes all day online to give me some inspiration. I found a bunch of good Nelson Mandela quotes so I wanted to share:)

“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.”

"And 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 brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

"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.”

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that a son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a nation.”

“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.”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
