I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them. – Nelson Mandela
Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africas leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think. – Nelson Mandela
