Desmond Tutu

The only way to permanently change the world

Forgiveness is not just some nebulous, vague idea one can easily dismiss. It has to do with uniting people through practical politics. Without forgiveness there is no future. To forgive is the only way to permanently change the world.

~ Desmond Tutu

Love is much more demanding

Love is much more
demanding than law.

~ Desmond Tutu

We are made for loving

We are made for loving. If we don't love,
we will be like plants without water.

~ Desmond Tutu

Without forgiveness

Where is our future without forgiveness?

~ by Desmond Tutu

Without forgiveness

Without forgiveness there is no future.

~ Desmond Tutu

We were made to enjoy

We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose bedecked with dew... Human beings are actually created for the transcendent, for the sublime, for the beautiful, for the truthful ... and all of us are given the task of trying to make this world a little more hospitable to these beautiful things.

~ Desmond Tutu
