Alan Paton Quotes

But the one thing that has power completely is love, because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power Picture Quote #1

Pain and suffering, they are a secret. Kindness and love, they are a secret. But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering Picture Quote #1

I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find that we are turned to hating Picture Quote #1

There is not much talking now. A silence falls upon them all. This is no time to talk of hedges and fields, or the beauties of any country. Sadness and fear and hate, how they well up in the heart and mind, whenever one opens pages of these messengers of doom. Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy. He knows only the fear of his heart Picture Quote #1

There are voices crying what must be done, a hundred, a thousand voices. But what do they help if one seeks for counsel, for one cries this, and one cries that, and another cries something that is neither this nor that Picture Quote #1

For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for. Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children. Money is for security, and for dreams, and for hopes, and for purposes. Money is for buying the fruits of the earth, of the land where you were born Picture Quote #1

And money is not something to go mad about... Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children Picture Quote #1

When men are ruled by fear, they strive to prevent the very changes that will abate it Picture Quote #1

Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey. But, sorrow is at least an arriving Picture Quote #1

There is a man sleeping in the grass. And over him is gathering the greatest storm of all his days. Such lightening and thunder will come there has never been seen before, bringing death and destruction. People hurry home past him, to places safe from danger. And whether they do not see him there in the grass, or whether they fear to halt even a moment, but they do not wake him, they let him be Picture Quote #1

It is my belief that the only power which can resist the power of fear is the power of love Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For it is the dawn that has come, as it has come for a thousand centuries, never failing Picture Quote #1

We do not work for men. We work for the land and the people. We do not even work for money Picture Quote #1

It is not permissible to add to one’s possesions if these things can only be done at the cost of other men. Such development has only one true name, and that is exploitation Picture Quote #1

Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die? Wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom Picture Quote #1

What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another? What broke when he could bring himself to thrust down the knife into the warm flesh, to bring down the axe on the living head, to cleave down between the seeing eyes, to shoot the gun that would drive death into the beating heart? Picture Quote #1

I have always found that actively loving saves one from a morbid preoccupation with the shortcomings of society Picture Quote #1
