On July 18, it will be 99 years since the birth of one of the greatest statesmen of all time and a man who dedicated his life to the fight against apartheid. Of course, we are talking about Nelson Mandela. Madiba, as he was called, spent a good part of his life behind bars, but he did not rest there either. All the time he followed the political events in his country and led the ANC movement. But he was also known as an extremely wise man with prudent thoughts.
In honor of the anniversary of his birth, we have collected some of the most famous. They might kill you set fire to.
