평화,평등,인권,인류애의수호성인(apatronsaintofpeace,equality,humanrightsandloveforhumanity)이었던그가이세상을떠났다(leavethisworld).27년간감옥살이와온갖핍박에굴하지않았던(donotgiveintoallsortsofpersecutions)그는전세계에희망의메시지를물려주고갔다.기나긴고난속에피를토하듯내뱉었던(rapoutasifhevomitsblood)그의말들은그래서더욱절실하다.
"누구도피부색,배경또는종교때문에(duetoone’sskincolor,backgroundorreligion)다른사람을미워하도록태어나지(bebornhatinganotherperson)않는다.미워하게끔배운다.미워하는것을배울수있다면사랑하는것도가르칠(betaughttolove)수있지않은가.사랑은미움보다더자연스레사람가슴에다가온다."
"소작농의딸도의사가될수있고,광부의아들(sonofamineworker)이광산의주인(ownerofthemine)이될수도있다.농장일꾼의자녀(childofafarmworker)가대통령이될수있는게교육의힘이다."
"노예제도와인종차별처럼(likeslaveryandracialdiscrimination)가난도자연적인것이아니다.인간에의해극복되고뿌리뽑을(beovercomeanderadicatedbyhumanbeings)수있다.""무슨일이든이루어질때까지는언제나불가능해보인다(alwaysseemimpossibleuntilit’sdone).""용기는두려움을느끼지않는(donotfeelafraid)것이아니라그공포심을극복하는(conquerthefear)것이다.""분개(憤慨)는자기가독약을마시고그독약이적들을죽여주기바라는것처럼(belikedrinkingpoisonandthenhopingitwillkillyourenemies)어리석은짓이다."
"지도자는양치기와같다(belikeashepherd).무리의뒤에있으면서(staybehindtheflock)가장날렵한이를앞으로나아가게하고(letthemostnimblegooutahead)나머지무리는뒤에서지휘받고있음을내내모른채따라가도록해야한다.승리를자축할때는다른이들을앞세우고(putothersinfront),위험이있을때는자신이앞으로나서는(takethefrontline)이가진정한지도자다.""사람들로하여금무언가를하도록설득하고(persuadepeopletodosomething)그것이자기자신들의아이디어였다고생각하게만드는자가현명한지도자다."
"나는내영혼의선장(thecaptainofmysoul)"이라고했던만델라의몸이영혼을따라갔다."삶에서가장위대한영예(thegreatestgloryinliving)는결코쓰러지지않는데있는것이아니라쓰러질때마다일어서는데있다(lienotinneverfalling,butinrisingeverytimewefall)"고했던그는생전에"나를내성공으로심판하지말아달라.얼마나많이쓰러졌다가다시일어났는(falldownandgetbackupagain)지로나를심판해달라"는말을남겼다.
