In many ways, when you're a Nobel peace laureate, you have an obligation to humankind, to society.

The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize, things that I said yesterday, with nobody paying too much attention, I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people, and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.

It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.

If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.

You stand out in the crowd only because you have these many, many carrying you on their shoulders.
