    Thank you for responding so quickly to the news with this fitting tribute to one of the greatest leaders of our time. The best tribute we can pay to the man is to follow his example, to seek peace and unity despite our many differences. R.I.P. Nelson Mandela.

    What a great, brilliant, graceful, astonishingly brave human being.
    We'll not see exactly his like again.

    What an amazing man. He spent his hole life fighting for what he believed in, fighting for what is right, and never gave it up. I don't care who you are this mans life and legacy is what we should all strive to do for what we believe in no matter the cost.

    "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."
    -Nelson Mandela

    most people, in my opinion, play lip service to the greatness of Nelson Mandela. Mandela,in my opinion, was probably one of, if not the greatest, human beings to ever walk the face of this earth.ANyone who doubts or even questions his greatness has some screwballs in his or head I believe. To go through what he went through, and still have no remorse and only love in his heart especially towards the very people that enslaved him, shows what a great man he was and his legacy will never be forgotten. God bless Mandela and the ANC!

    while Mandela was imprisoned he recited a Poem to other oppressed inmates
    this poem was "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley, its my favorite poem and here is the text
    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.
    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.
    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds and shall find me unafraid.
    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    *I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.*

    People need to stop saying the he was a terrorist because he wasn't and he did more good than bad and he served time in prison for the bad things he done even though he had no choice to use violence because after the Sharpeville massacre in which 69 people were killed during a peaceful protests his only options were to start using violence or keep on doing peaceful protests and let more people get killed.

    While it is sad that the world is now without the greatness of this man, this father figure of a nation, he became almost a hundred years old. I would say that he, if any, deserves the peace of death. I would have liked for him to keep on going for decades to come, but despite all his prowess and achievements, Nelson Mandela was but a man. He left us with dignity and without a wake of corruption, only fitting for a man of his status.
