Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela , militant contre l’ Apartheid, futur president sud africain, ici quand il etait jeune vers 1950 — Nelson Mandela, activist against Apartheid, here in his youth c. 1950

4. “I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” — “Long Walk to Freedom: An Autobiography of Nelson Mandela,” 1995
