Quotes

Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial... Desmond Tutu
Desmond Tutu quote: "If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to..."
If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. Desmond Tutu
Desmond Tutu quote: "In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies."
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies. Desmond Tutu
Peace comes when you talk to the guy you most hate. And that's where the courage of a leader comes, because when you sit down with your enemy, you as a leader must already have very considerable confidence from your own constituency. Desmond Tutu
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
