More quotes by Desmond Tutu
A person is a person through other persons you can't be human in isolation you are human only in relationships.
Desmond Tutu
I don't often want to speak. I try to be a reasonable person and to be diplomatic, but you go to that place and you see the settlements, you see what has happened to the land that was owned by the Palestinians.
Desmond Tutu
God looks at the Middle East, looks at Palestine. When you go to the Holy Land and see what's being done to the Palestinians at checkpoints, for us, it's the kind of thing we experienced in South Africa.
Desmond Tutu
Our Lord wanted us to be Christ-like. Christ-like doesn't mean not having faults. It means that you do actually have a capacity to draw out the good that is in others.
Desmond Tutu
Reconciliation is a long process. We don't have the kind of race clashes that we thought would happen. What we have is xenophobia, and it's very distressing. But maybe you ought to be lenient with us. We've been free for just 12 years.
Desmond Tutu
God says, 'You know what? I don't have anybody else... except you.'
Desmond Tutu
Once you have women liberated, it's amazing how many other problems get resolved--pover ty, education, health. Women are the key in any community.
Desmond Tutu
I'm coming to believe more and more in the truth that everything we do has consequences. A good deed doesn't just evaporate and disappear.
Desmond Tutu
Ultimately, suffering is always political with all kinds of justifications - there are those who justify Israel's occupation of land as being a fulfillment of what God had promised.
Desmond Tutu
Without forgiveness, there's no future.
Desmond Tutu
Hate has no place in the house of God. No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity - or because of their sexual orientation.
Desmond Tutu
We spend billions on banks when we know that a fraction of this money could save all the children in the world.
Desmond Tutu
If we are going to bring about change, then men, for goodness sake, stand up and stand for the right. And I say, ‘power to the women.
Desmond Tutu
Peace without justice is an impossibility.
Desmond Tutu
People took some part of us and used it to discriminate against us. In our case, it was our ethnicity it's precisely the same thing for sexual orientation.
Desmond Tutu
We can be human only together. A person is a person to other persons.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
Desmond Tutu
You ask when is it that you can say yes we have had enough. It is enough revenge and I think now we have restored the equilibrium. It never happens!
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness is something that we are often asked to grant and very few of us ever have the roadmap of how to get from the pain that we have experienced to being able to forgive someone.
Desmond Tutu
When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it's again not people who are intrinsically evil.
