Mandela: "I do not, however, deny that I planned sabotage." - The Speech from the Dock, 1964

"I do not, however, deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness, nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation, and oppression of my people by the whites."

- Nelson Mandela, 1964, "The Speech from the Dock"
