Wipe those tears, as they have cleansed your soul.

About This Quote

Nelson Mandela, in the Nelson Mandela quote above, said, “Wipe those tears, as they have cleansed your soul.” In this statement, he was encouraging the people of South Africa to forgive and forget. Their freedom from oppression was at hand. After centuries of oppression by a government that had been armed by Britain in order to keep them dependent on it, the people were freed from the shackles of a racist regime. But they needed to remember their suffering and move on in order for their country to flourish. The freedom that was in their grasp could become a dangerous temptation if they did not remember their suffering or try to make peace with it.
