Alan Paton
But to punish and not to restore, that is the greatest of all offences.
Alan Paton

Alan Paton
I am a weak and sinful man, but God put His hands on me, that is all.
Alan Paton
Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey. But, sorrow is at least an arriving.
Alan Paton

Alan Paton
