U.S. President Barack Obama called Nelson Mandela’s life and legacy a touchstone for him and an example “that all humanity should aspire to.”

“We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again,” Obama said yesterday at the White House after the announcement of South African leader’s death at age 95. “So it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set.”
