Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud. . . . Never, never, and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.

Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.

I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.

Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

It is not where you start but how high you aim that matters for success.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.
