The world lost one of the greatest servant leaders of all time, yesterday. Nelson Mandela was 95 years old. He exemplified servant leadership throughout his life. To honor his memory, below are my favorite Nelson Mandela quotes for servant leaders, accompanied by graphics of the man the world will miss:
1. “If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”
2. “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
3. “Difficulties break some men but make others.”
4. “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”
5. “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
6. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
7. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
8.”The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
