But when the dawn will come, of our emancipation, from the fear of bondage and the bondage of fear, why, that is a secret.

Happy the eyes that can close

The Judge does not make the law. It is people that make the law. Therefore if a law is unjust, and if the Judge judges according to the law, that is justice, even if it is not just.

There is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills.

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

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that's the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing. Nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him if he gives too much.

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.
