God hopes that we are going to love God back.
Desmond Tutu
You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.
Desmond Tutu
When we look at a conflict, it is so often rooted in injustice, prejudice, competition for resources, poverty, poor governance and corruption.
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
Mother Teresa, you could say many things about her, but certainly you would not say she was macho. Anything but.
Desmond Tutu
A person who is assured of the love of God will see his fellow men in a different light and treat them and himself differently, and of course this also applies to business leaders.
Desmond Tutu
Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, he was an angry, relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released, he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.
Desmond Tutu
Never let anyone make you feel inferior for being who you are. When you live the life you were meant to live, in freedom and dignity
Desmond Tutu
If forgiving depended on the culprit owning up, then the victim would always be at the mercy of the perpetrator. The victim would be bound in the shackles of victimhood.
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
This is a moral universe, which means that, despite all the evidence that seems to be to the contrary, there is no way that evil and injustice and oppression and lies can have the last word.
Desmond Tutu
There is no peace precisely because there has been no justice. As painful and inconvenient as justice may be, we have seen that the alternative allowing accountability to fall by the wayside is worse.
Desmond Tutu
Human beings are fundamentally good.
Desmond Tutu
We can enjoy a self-assurance that doesn't depend on the state of things outside ourselves, be it downturns or booms or whatever.
Desmond Tutu
Revenge has a way of corroding you, the revenger. You know it doesn't heal you.
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
Freedom and liberty lose out by default because good people are not vigilant.
Desmond Tutu
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
Desmond Tutu
There are levels of poverty in South Africa that are totally unacceptable.
Desmond Tutu
The final and full revelation of God is not a book, it is a person. Jesus Christ.
Desmond Tutu
