Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.

About This Quote

He was a man of his times. He lived in a time when things were not going well for him. He had been beaten down and had fallen on hard times, but he had come through it. He believed that life would go on as it always had, badly.

But somehow, he was right. Life is better than it ever was for Nelson Mandela.
