On July 18， 2013， Nelson Mandela， the South African politician and champion of anti?apartheid，turned 95. To celebrate his birthday and extraordinary life， here is a collection of some of his most inspirational words.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling， but rising every time we fall.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid， but he who conquers that fear.

Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun， one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested， but I would not and could not give myself up to despair.
