About This Quote

When Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years, he often thought about his mother who died when he was nine. Similarly, in the midst of the deadly attack on the U.S. embassy in Kenya in 1998, he thought about his family who were waiting for him to return home safe and sound. He remembers this moment in his life when he knew that there was no way of stopping his situation from turning into a nightmare. He did not have any idea of how he would get out of the situation but he knew that there was a chance that everything would be okay, and it did turn out okay for him.
