 Nelson Mandela **Desmond Tutu **
 * In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
 *  A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
 * Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
 * I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
 * If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

 * **For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too. **
 * **I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum. **
 * **Without forgiveness, there's no future. **
 * We spoke and acted as if, given the opportunity for self-government, we would quickly create utopias. Instead injustice, even tyranny, is rampant.
 * If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved.

 * <span style="color: #312886; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 12pt;">In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace.

In this vast statement I am well within the mark, several millions of lives with the mark. It is curious that the most advanced and most enlightened century of all the centuries the sun has looked upon should have the ghastly distinction of having produced this moldy and peity-mouthing hypocrite, this bloody monster whose mate is not findable in human history anywhere, and whose personality will surely shame hell itself when he arrives there--which will be soon, let us hope and trust.
