The stern compression of circumstances, the twinges of adversity, the spur of slights and taunts in early years, are needed to evoke that ruthless fixity of purpose and tenacious wit without which great actions are seldom accomplished.

All good thoughts and ideas mean nothing without action.

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.

Your action expresses your priorities.

I will not leave South Africa, nor will I surrender. Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.

A little less conversation, a little more ACTION.
