"Duboko sam ožalošćen smrću gospodina Mandele. Njegov je život bio ispunjen svrhom i nadom; nadom za sebe, svoju zemlju i svet. Inspirisao je druge da dosegnu za onim što se činilo nemogućim i pokretao ih je da se probiju kroz barijere koje su ih držale kao taoce mentalno, fizički, socijalno i ekonomski. On nas je naterao da shvatimo, mi smo čuvari naše braće i da su naša braća u svim bojama.

Čega ću se najviše sećati o gospodinu Mandeli je da je on bio čovek čije srce, duša i duh ne mogu biti zatočeni ili ograničeni rasnim i ekonomskim nepravdama, metalnim rešetkama ili teretom mržnje i osvete. On nas je naučio oproštaju u velikoj meri. Njegov je duh rođen slobodan, predodređen da se vine iznad duge. Danas se njegov duh uzdiže kroz nebesa. On je sada slobodan zauvek."

-Muhamed Ali

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Mandela. His was a life filled with purpose and hope; hope for himself, his country and the world. He inspired others to reach for what appeared to be impossible and moved them to break through the barriers that held them hostage mentally,
physically, socially and economically. He made us realize, we are our brother’s keeper and that our brothers come in all colors.

What I will remember most about Mr. Mandela is that he was a man whose heart, soul and spirit could not be contained or restrained by racial and economic injustices, metal bars or the burden of hate and revenge. He taught us forgiveness on a grand scale. His was a spirit born free, destined to soar above the rainbows. Today his spirit is soaring through the heavens. He is now forever free."

-Muhammad Ali
