People are not born hating each other and wishing to cause harm. It is a learned condition.

People united in pursuit of a righteous cause are unstoppable.

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.

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 Tutu

We learn from history that we don’t learn from history!

Desmond Tutu

We must not only speak about forgiveness and reconciliation, we must act on these principles.
