Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
Do your little bit of good where you are.
Desmond Tutu
A person is a person through other persons you can't be human in isolation you are human only in relationships.
Desmond Tutu
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
Ultimately, suffering is always political with all kinds of justifications - there are those who justify Israel's occupation of land as being a fulfillment of what God had promised.
Desmond Tutu
We so desperately long for all of us to learn that we are meant for one another. We are meant for complementarity. The Syrians are members of our family.
Desmond Tutu
Freedom and liberty lose out by default because good people are not vigilant.
Desmond Tutu
If I diminish you, I diminish myself
