There is nothing like returing to a place that remains unchanged to find how you yourself have altered.

More from Nelson Mandela

• If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
• Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.
• Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
• Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation.
