Quotes

because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass that will not lie. Alan Paton
I have never thought that a Christian would be free of suffering, umfundisi. For our Lord suffered. And I come to believe that he suffered, not to save us from suffering, but to teach us how to bear suffering. For he knew that there is no life without suffering. Alan Paton
There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man. Alan Paton
