Nelson mandela lived for that ideal and he made it real. He achieved more than could be expected of any man. And today hes gone home. Weve lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human being that any of us will know in the short time on this earth. He no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages.

The commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives.
