Good Morning Sunday: 15 Inspiring Nelson Mandela Quotes

Nelson Mandela passed away on December 5th. But before his death he had already become a larger than life hero. His struggle and sacrifice to end apartheid in South Africa touched and inspired us all.

Today’s Good Morning Sunday post is dedicated to the former President of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Here is a collection of his quotes and inspiration lessons:

8) When people are determined they can overcome anything.

9) Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.
