“The world would have you agree with its dismal dream of limitation. But the light would have you soar like the eagle of your sacred visions.”

“It might be hard for you to understand this being an outsider; but South Africa holds the souls of its sons and daughters in an almost inescapable gasp. History cast all of us in a strange and gripping drama, but I had deserted the stage. I had no idea what my role was, and felt I would never be whole until I found out!”

joyous celebration, will remain forever in the hearts and minds
of a nation reborn. When tears came, and there was dampness in
the eyes of even the most stern, it was for putting the past in
the past and hoping for hope in the future.”

“The greatness of a nation
consists not so much
in the number of it’s people
or the extent of it’s territory
as in the extent
and justice of it’s compassion.”

“The greatness of a nation

– Inscription at the Horse Memorial in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for horses killed in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902).

“There is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love. Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power. Only strive for power, if it is not at the cost (expense) of other men (people). Power corrupts. You first have to be pure and righteous before one can attain power. I believe that love is a greater force than power.”

– Alan Paton, great South African humanitarian and author of the greatly moving book ‘Cry the Beloved Country’ (1946).
