Desmond Tutu
I can't control what happens to me, but I can control how I respond to it.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
Jesus could weep. Sometimes when you look at the ugliness that makes you weep, you know that the heart of God is also weeping. Jesus is for real. He does not give up on anyone, least of all on me.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
We can only be human together.
Desmond Tutu
When we look squarely at injustice and get involved, we actually feel less pain, not more, because we overcome the gnawing guilt and despair that festers under our numbness. We clean the wound - our own and others' - and it can finally heal.
Desmond Tutu
