More quotes by Desmond Tutu
All of us experience fear, but when we confront and acknowledge it, we are able to turn it into courage. Being courageous does not mean never being scared it means acting as you know you must even though you are undeniably afraid.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Desmond Tutu
We have an extraordinary God. God is a mighty God, but this God needs you. When someone is hungry, bread doesn't come down from heaven. When God wants to feed the hungry, you and I must feed the hungry. And now God wants peace in the world.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
The fossil reserves that have already been discovered exceed what can ever be safely used. Yet companies spend half a trillion dollars each year searching for more fuel. They should redirect this money toward developing clean energy solutions
Desmond Tutu
It was Christians, you know, not Pagans, who were responsible for the Holocaust. It was Christians, not Pagans, who lynched people here in the South, who burned people at the stake, frequently in the name of this Jesus Christ.
Desmond Tutu
That so called original sin does not know any racial discrimination.
Desmond Tutu
I don't know any religion that promotes violence. It is the adherents of whatever religion.
