Desmond Mpilo Tutu is a South African religious leader, theologian and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Here are a few things he has said about being human.
All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
Without forgiveness, there's no future.
Be nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
We inhabit a universe that is characterized by diversity.
A person is a person because he recognizes others as persons.
We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.
Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
I like how he thinks!
