I'll not go where there is any of that sort of thing going on, again. It's the sure way, and the only sure way;

Mark Twain
I'll not go where there is any of that sort...
I'll not go where there is any of that sort...
I'll not go where there is any of that sort...
I'll not go where there is any of that sort...
About This Quote

This quote is one of many that Nelson Mandela used to describe his life and his imprisonment. He spent over 18 years in prison and became a symbol of resistance throughout the world. Mandela was never known for being a person who would be easily swayed by others and he was very stubborn about his beliefs. It is clear from reading this quote that he was not willing to accept what some would call “the sure way.”
