The greatest thing a man can do is to show compassion to others.

Alan Paton

I do not believe in the idea of men, who are the children of the same father, being divided by colour. I do not believe in the idea of men being regarded as inferiors or superiors because of their colour.

Alan Paton

The fear that we have, and the feelings of suspicion, are the things that divide us.

“Ha’penny“
(Short Story)

“Ha’penny” is a truly touching short story by Alan Paton about a young and precocious former street child, now imprisoned in a reformatory, who has imagined for himself a life more compassionate, than the one he has been forced to live.
The elders brought into the gravity-spell of Ha’penny’s small world, soon come to learn the value of a little child’s hope, able to overcome, even the harshest of human institutions.
