A person is a person through other persons; you can't be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Theology reminded me that, how...

Theology reminded me that, however diabolical the act, it did not turn the perpetrator into a demon. We had to distinguish between the deed and the perpetrator, between the sinner and the sin, to hate and condemn the sin while being filled with compassion for the sinner.

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

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

We are made for goodness. We a...

We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God's family.

Without memory, there is no healing. Without forgiveness, there is no future.

I think it is a good exercise to ask oneself, 'How would I have wanted to be treated?'

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Most poor people I know are pr...

Most poor people I know are proud and really want not a handout but a hand up. They do have an inherent pride and dignity, and we should treat them as those who have fallen on bad days.

Life is funny and we are really funny, especially when we get to be hoity toity; we can be so ridiculous. Life is fun.

Dream of a world where poverty is history, dream of a world where we don't spend those obscene billions on arms, knowing full well that a tiny fraction of those budgets of death would ensure that children everywhere had clean water to drink, could afford the cheap inoculations against preventable diseases, would have good schools, adequate healthcare and decent homes.

Dream of a world where children can laugh and play and not be blown up by a mine they thought was a toy.

The pressure to succeed has a lot to do with why people overstep the line. It is a peculiar weakness of western culture where we have made a fetish of success.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

We give kudos to people who have succeeded. We don't care in what they succeeded as long as they succeeded. The worst thing that can happen to anybody in this cultural environment is to fail.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Catharsis returns us to the pu...

Catharsis returns us to the purpose for which were originally intended - to be called by God to do good - and thus ultimately returns us to ourselves.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Just as I need other human bei...

Just as I need other human beings in order to learn from them, so I also need their trust. If we aren't aware of that, if we fail to take it to heart and instead betray other people's trust, things will go badly with us.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Trust is one of the fundamenta...

Trust is one of the fundamentals of human existence. We need to be able to trust one another. A man who can no longer trust anyone will become sick.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

In order to turn around and do...

In order to turn around and do something better, we must first escape the vicious circle of self-righteousness and denial. And that calls for the humility to say 'I'm sorry. Please forgive me.'

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Catharsis is about cleansing and healing at one and the same time - healing memories and attitudes, healing the spirit and the heart.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu 58 quotes

Only if we face up to our past...

Only if we face up to our past can we regain our credibility. If we pretend that our trust is greater than it is, we will be like someone who tries to patch over a crack.

Human beings have a vested interest in being trustworthy.
