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
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Desmond Tutu
I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.
Desmond Tutu
Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.
Desmond Tutu
Most poor people I know are proud and really want not a handout but a hand up. They do have an inherent pride and dignity, and we should treat them as those who have fallen on bad days.
Desmond Tutu
