Forgiving is not forgetting its actually remembering--remembering and not using your right to hit back. Its a second chance for a new beginning. And the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you dont want to repeat what happened.
Desmond Tutu
Image
Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.
Desmond Tutu
Image
One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them they don't have a history that they have no roots.
Desmond Tutu
Image
The reprisal against the suicide bomber does not bring peace. There is a suicide bomber, a reprisal and then a counter-reprisal. And it just goes on and on.
Desmond Tutu
Image
It is quite exhilarating to speak about a God who has an incredible bias, a notorious bias in favor of the downtrodden. You look at Exodus and the Israelites' escape from a bottomless pit. God is not evenhanded. God is biased up to his eyebrows.

All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others
Desmond Tutu
Image
My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma
Desmond Tutu

We need other human beings in order to be human.

I wish that we did have a magic wand which we could wave and hey presto! Magic! Unfortunately life is not like that.
Desmond Tutu
Image
I regard Abraham as my ancestor. Some of the greatest inspiration I have got has come from what we call the Old Testament prophets and what Jews would say our prophets.
Desmond Tutu
Image
There is no religion in fact that I know that encourages or propagates violence in that its adherents should carry out.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

That so called original sin does not know any racial discrimination.

At home in South Africa I have sometimes said in big meetings where you have black and white together: 'Raise your hands!' Then I have said: 'Move your hands,' and I've said 'Look at your hands - different colors representing different people. You are the Rainbow People of God.'

We spend billions on banks when we know that a fraction of this money could save all the children in the world.
