About This Quote
This quote by Nelson Mandela is a statement of truth, and that is:Everything I have accomplished is Thanks to the Lord above, and without him my success would have been impossible. He was not only speaking of his own achievements, but he was also referring to his fallen enemies. You’ve probably heard the story that Mandela was once asked by an enemy who he thought was better, him or the devil? The former president answered, “The Lord above.” It’s pretty obvious what he meant by that answer.
