Frailty Quote by Desmond Tutu

“We get most upset with those we love because they are close to us and we know that they are aware of our weaknesses. . . If only we could learn to live with our inadequacies, our frailties, our vulnerabilities, we would not need to try so hard to push away those who really know us.” quote by Desmond Tutu — Download Open image
