RIP Nelson Mandela

The world may never see another man of his calibre, but because of great men such as he, we hopefully will never need to

A truly great man, a very sad loss, but an amazing legacy

A very sad day to be mourned but also a great and full life to be celebrated. He was one of my few living heros. A man who earned his place under the banners, his name will live on.

Great heros don't look for the resulting adulation. Instead they stare down fear, adversity & personal pain, & in their actions inspire others. Nelson, we mourn your leaving our mortal world, & celebrate your courage.

Alex.

“When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace.”

Rest in peace Mr Mandela, you earned it

My heart literally skipped a beat when I heard the news today.

I'm sure his spirit and legacy will live on for many more generations.

We have lost a true hero.

Thank you for what you have done for humanity.

R.I.P.

the movie "The Power of One" comes to mind. I know it's not about Mr Mandela, but I've always seen it as a movie that what he was all about.

he had a good innings, .. least he wasn't assassinated. A truly inspirational person for what he did for his country, especially after what his country did to him.

RIP

Truly the Worlds greatest leader. One who led by example. A Man who truly understood that we are Mankind sharing this Earth together as Brothers and Sisters. We are all better off for having him and he has left a mark of hope for peace forever. His flame has gone out, but his light will travel on. Rest in peace Nelson Mandela.
