Ten great quotes by Nelson Mandela

1.The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
最大的榮耀不是永不跌倒,而是跌到後總能站起來。

2. It always seems impossible until it’s done.
在事情未完成之前,一切都看似不可能。

3. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
教育是可以用來改變世界的最強有力的武器。

4. After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
登上高峰後,你會發現還有更多的山峰要翻越。

5. If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
若想與敵和平共處,就要與敵並肩作戰。敵亦將為友。

6. 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.
我懂得了,勇氣不是沒有恐懼,而是戰勝恐懼。勇者不是感覺不到害怕的人,而是克服自身恐懼的人。

7. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones.
評判一個國家不應看它如何對待地位最高的民眾,而是看它如何對待窮人或一無所有的人。

8. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
沒有人生來就因為皮膚顏色、出生地或宗教信仰去恨另一個人。恨需要學習,既然人們能夠學會恨,那麼同樣可以教會他們愛。愛比恨更容易走進人類的內心。

9. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
如果你用一個人聽得懂的語言與他交流,他會記在腦子裡;如果你用他自己的語言與他交流,他會記在心裡。

10. As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.
當我走出囚室邁向通往自由的大門時,我已明了:自己若不能把痛苦與怨恨留在身後,那麼其實我仍在獄中。
