    Nelson Mandela dead at 95

    Nelson Mandela died yesterday.

    Nelson Mandela is a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1993.

    He was a great man, who ended apartheid. He was a revolutionary, who learned the mistakes of violence and fought only through peace in South Africa.

    Wiki to this man

    It is indeed a sad day that such an icon of peace is dead. With that, I leave with a couple quotes from the man himself.

    "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."

    "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."

    "A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed."

    What is happiness?
    It's being called by someone
    It's being able to call someone
    It's when someone is thinking of you
    But Heaven has none of this
    A lizard girl took pity on God
    So the lizard girl tore God in two and brought a half from Heaven to Earth
