Desmond Tutu (1931-), Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, anti-apartheid and human rights activist, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, and chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has consistently championed the cause of the vulnerable, being willing to speak truth to power in a wide range of circumstances. This is our third and final look at some of his insights…
- Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put all together that overwhelm the world. Desmond Tutu
- All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others. Desmond Tutu
- I’d choose hell over a homophobic heaven. Desmond Tutu
- My father used to say, “Don’t raise your voice. Improve your argument.” Desmond Tutu
- Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. Forgivness means abandoning your right to pay back the perpetrator in his own coin. Desmond Tutu
As always, nice chatting…
