:南非总统曼德拉1994年就职竞聘演说

　　We are both humbled and elevated by the honour and privilege that you, the people of South Africa, have bestowed on us, as the first President of a united, democratic, non-racial and non-sexist South Africa, to lead our country out of the valley of darkness.

　　We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom.

　　We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.

　　We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.

　　Let there be justice for all.

　　Let there be peace for all.

　　Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

　　Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfil themselves.

　　Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.

　　Let freedom reign.
