There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. ~ Nelson Mandela ~ Nelson Mandela 90

Nelson Mandela 90 We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. ~ Nelson Mandela ~

“ Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.” Nelson Mandela 90

Nelson Mandela 90 "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela 90 "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

Nelson Mandela 90 We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
