INVICTUS
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.
Quan fénoir y arrive, i entour a ou
Quan li vé râle à ou dan' fon lo trou
Mi di merci bon dié, p'importe qui li lé
Pou mon fonkér embravé dan' fierté.
Wise words.
Be proud of your death count in Celeste kids !
No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
Nelson Mandela
Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again
Nelson Mandela
“Ninguém nasce odiando outra pessoa pela cor de sua pele, por sua origem, ou ainda por sua religião. Para odiar, as pessoas precisam aprender, e se podem aprender a odiar, podem ser ensinadas a amar. “
“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”
Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until 2018. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
Anyways as Nelson Mandela said
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
"If people can learn to hate they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally than the human heart than its opposite. "

🌈 Happy pride month! 💜
The statue of Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square, London.
Mandela famously said: “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians”
Today, his statue looked down on tens of thousands of protesters demanding a free Palestine.
