❌ Citation de Mandela

❌ Apocryphal, but you probably knew that. There’s no trace of this quote in Wikiquote, Gallica, the official website of the Nelson Mandela Foundation: https://www.nelsonmandela.org/, or even in Nelson Mandela by Himself, the authorized book of quotations compiled by Mandela himself: https://books.google.co.za/books/about/Nelson_Mandela_By_Himself.html?id=PZIsP34tQiYC&redir_esc=y And yet, it’s still widely attributed to him and so are many other quotes. Is this what people mean when they talk about the “Mandela Effect”? https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/meta-programme-fact-checks/man-vision-or-man-television-relationship-advice-not-nelson https://archive.ph/ETe8d https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/mandela-effect Versions of this proverb appear in many places, from the Bible (Proverbs of Solomon 29) to Tibetan wisdom literature: http://oaks.nvg.org/tibetan.html But Mandela? He never said it. Sorry.
