Desde
ontem, com a notícia da morte de um ícone da liberdade, Nelson Mandela, o
noticiário mundial faz uma extensa cobertura sobre a passagem do líder. Por
também acreditarmos e apoiarmos toda a luta contra a discriminação - seja lá
qual for - homenageamos esta brilhante figura postando algumas de suas célebres
frases. Lembrando, claro, que Mandela não foi um homem somente de retórica. É
uma das personalidades globais que mudaram a nossa história. **As frases estão
in English, sure, para um exercício de tradução.
"If people can learn to hate, they can be
taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its
opposite’.
‘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’.
‘Never, never and never
again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression
of one by another’.
‘The greatest glory in
living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.’
‘Do not judge me by my
successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.’
‘If I had my time over I
would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man.’
‘There is no passion to
be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you
are capable of living.’
‘It always seems
impossible until it is done.’
‘It is what we make out
of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from
another.’
‘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.’
