More quotes by 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
Our Christian faith is actually very subversive of the conventional notion of success - the notion that what invests a person with worth is something extrinsic.
Desmond Tutu
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
The world needs a revolution led by women.
Desmond Tutu
Those of us who came to be Christians get to remember that forgiveness cost God the death of God's son. It's an expensive thing in many ways.
Desmond Tutu
Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?
Desmond Tutu
We can be human only together. A person is a person to other persons.
Desmond Tutu
I don't know any religion that promotes violence. It is the adherents of whatever religion.
Desmond Tutu
