Text Quotes
When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Though wrong gratifies in the moment, good yields its gifts over a lifetime  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) A person is a person through other persons; you can’t be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) It is through weakness and vulnerability that most of us learn empathy and compassion and discover our soul  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) We shall be free only together, black and white. We shall survive only together, black and white. We can be human only together, black and white  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) When I care about black liberation, it is because I care about white liberation  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Frequently people think compassion and love are merely sentimental. No! They are very demanding. If you are going to be compassionate, be prepared for action  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) If everyone who wants to see an end to poverty, hunger and suffering speaks out, then the noise will be deafening  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) It is by standing up for the rights of girls and women that we truly measure up as men  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) There will be no future without forgiveness. Any process of peace is bound to collapse if this is missing. There is no way peace and stability can come through the gun of vengeance  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) To be impartial... is indeed to have taken sides already... with the status quo  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) I think that because this is a moral universe, then right will prevail, goodness will prevail, compassion will prevail, laughter will prevail, love, caring, sharing will prevail. Because we are made for goodness. We are made for love  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) You know when ubuntu is there, and it is obvious when it is absent. It has to do with what it means to be truly human, to know that you are bound up with others in the bundle of life  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) To treat anyone as if they were less than human, less than a brother or a sister, no matter what they have done, is to contravene the very laws of our humanity  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) When people decide they want to be free, there is nothing that can stop them  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Despite all of the ghastliness in the world, human beings are made for goodness. The ones that are held in high regard are not militarily powerful, nor even economically prosperous. They have a commitment to try and make the world a better place  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Ubuntu tells us that we can create a more peaceful world by striving for goodness in each moment, wherever we are  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Instead of separation and division, all distinctions make for a rich diversity to be celebrated for the sake of the unity that underlies them. We are different so that we can know our need of one another  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) We can no longer continue feeding our addiction to fossil fuels as if there is no tomorrow. For there will be no tomorrow  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) All of us experience fear, but when we confront and acknowledge it, we are able to turn it into courage. Being courageous does not mean never being scared; it means acting as you know you must even though you are undeniably afraid  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) I’m coming to believe more and more in the truth that everything we do has consequences. A good deed doesn’t just evaporate and disappear  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) 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 Quotes) A person is a person through other persons. None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are. A person is entitled to a stable community life, and the first of these communities is the family  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Where we come from does not determine who we can become. What we look like places no limits on what we can achieve. We should all have the right to express ourselves, all have the right to be heard, all have the right to be what we can be: To reach for the sky and touch the stars. No matter who we are, no matter whether we are man or woman, or rich or poor: My voice, my right. My voice counts  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) There’s no question about the reality of evil, of injustice, of suffering, but at the center of this existence is a heart beating with love. That you and I and all of us are incredible. I mean, we really are remarkable things. That we are, as a matter of fact, made for goodness  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) Too frequently we think we have to do spectacular things. Yet if we remember that the sea is actually made up of drops of water and each drop counts, each one of us can do our little bit where we are. Those little bits can come together and almost overwhelm the world. Each one of us can be an oasis of peace  (Desmond Tutu Quotes) If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together, that our destinies are bound up in one another’s, that we can be free only together, that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family  (Desmond Tutu Quotes)
