About This Quote

"Change your ways when fear seizes" is a quotation that Nelson Mandela used to advise political prisoners. This quote appears in the movie, Invictus. Mandela was an unapologetic advocate of nonviolence, and he believed strongly that the best way to advance social change was through peaceful protest. He took this belief very seriously, and he made it clear to his fellow prisoners that they had to take responsibility for their actions. The quote is part of his famous prison cell speech, which he gave on Robben Island in South Africa.
