    Nelson Mandela
    “I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way.

I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”
    Nelson Mandela
