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.

Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination ... and a little dough.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
