February 21: Notes to the Future: Words of Wisdom by Nelson Mandela

Notes to the Future: Words of Wisdom, draws on the South African leader's personal archive of private papers, speeches, correspondence and audio recordings to present a collection of inspirational and historically significant quotations spanning more than 60 years.

The authorized record of Nelson Mandela's most inspiring and historically important quotations, Notes to the Future: Words of Wisdom is the definitive book of quotations from one of the great leaders of our time.

This collection — gathered from privileged access to Mandela's vast personal archive of private papers, speeches, correspondence and audio recordings — features more than three hundred quotations and includes his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

These inspirational quotations, organized into four sections — Struggle, Victory, Wisdom and Future — are both universal and deeply personal. We see Mandela's sense of humor, his loneliness and despair, his thoughts on fatherhood and the reluctant leader who had no choice but to become the man history demanded.

"A good pen can also remind us of the happiest moments in our lives, bring noble ideas into our dens, our blood and our souls. It can turn tragedy into hope and victory," Nelson Mandela, from a letter to Zindzi Mandela, written on Robben Island, February 10, 1980
