About This Quote

The word depreciate means to lower the value of something. In this quote, Nelson Mandela is encouraging us to not be afraid of our own potential. What is our potential worth? Is it worth less than someone else’s potential? No, it is not. The key to success is to do our best and give our best. If we don’t, we are no better off than those who have been depreciated and humiliated.
