Quotes
| # | Quote |

| 1 | During my lifetime, I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.

| 11 | There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty. |

| 13 | Let us give publicity to H.I.V./AIDS and not hide it, because the only way to make it appear like a normal illness like TB, like cancer, is always to come out and say somebody has died because of H.I.V./AIDS, and people will stop regarding it as something extraordinary. |
| 14 | My son has died of AIDS. |

| 33 | I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists. |
| 34 | Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status. |

| 57 | Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. |
| 58 | I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man. |

| 70 | 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. |

| 74 | Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS. |
| 75 | Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. |
| 76 | A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. |
| 77 | 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. |
| 78 | It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership. |
| 79 | If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. |
