Desmond Tutu

South African - Leader October 7, 1931 - December 26, 2021

With the author

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.

Desmond Tutu

If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

Desmond Tutu

Isn't it amazing that we are all made in God's image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

Desmond Tutu

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Desmond Tutu

In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.

Desmond Tutu

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Desmond Tutu

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.

Desmond Tutu

My experience has shown me that many people struggle with forgiveness of self and/or others.

Malik Yoba

Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

Desmond Tutu

We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

T. D. Jakes

I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.

Lee Tergesen

The Way Of The Fist' is not quite a Shakespearian depiction of anger and revenge. This song was more my way of releasing all the pent up aggression I felt against some people who wronged me beyond the point of any kind of forgiveness or mercy.

Ivan Moody

God will forgive me. It's his job.

Heinrich Heine

Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.

Dag Hammarskjold

I have sinned against You, my Lord, and I would ask that your precious blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgiveness.
