Pense avant de parler et pèse avant d'agir.

(Shakespeare, Hamlet)

Think different. Act different. 

The home page of www.apple.com with Mandela ...

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin 

or his background or his religion. 

People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love come more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. 

   (Nelson Mandela)

Le silence est d'or

sauf quand on a des enfants... 

Quand on a des enfants le silence est SUSPECT.

It was 25 years they take that man away
Now the freedom moves in closer every day
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
They say mandela's free so step outside
Oh oh oh oh mandela day
....
(Simple Minds, lyrics Mandela day)

Staff Member: He says he rested enough in prison.

Nelson Mandela: How do you inspire your team to do their best? 

Francois Pienaar: By example. I've always thought to lead by example, sir. 

Nelson Mandela: Well, that is right. That is exactly right. But how do we get them to be better then they think they CAN be? That is very difficult, I find. Inspiration, perhaps. How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do? How do we inspire everyone around us? I sometimes think it is by using the work of others. 
   (Invictus movie)

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.
