inspiration for a lifetime

I recently finished reading Long Walk to Freedom, the autobiography of Nelson Mandela.  Please read this amazing book.

One of my favorite quotes:

"I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color 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...Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished." - Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
