More quotes by Desmond Tutu
If you recall the happiest moments in your life, they are all from when you were doing something for somebody else.
Desmond Tutu
Hate has no place in the house of God. No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity - or because of their sexual orientation.
Desmond Tutu
There is only one way to eat an elephant, a bite at a time.
Desmond Tutu
I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.
Desmond Tutu
I give great thanks to God that he has created a Dalai Lama. Do you really think, as some have argued, that God will be saying: 'You know, that guy, the Dalai Lama, is not bad. What a pity he's not a Christian'? I don't think that is the case - because, you see, God is not a Christian.
Desmond Tutu
No future without forgiveness.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
We used to say to the apartheid government: you may have the guns, you may have all this power, but you have already lost. Come: join the winning side. His Holiness and the Tibetan people are on the winning side.
Desmond Tutu
We must stop climate change. And we can, if we use the tactics that worked in South Africa against the worst carbon emitters.
Desmond Tutu
Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.
Desmond Tutu
Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our wives, our sisters, our mothers.
Desmond Tutu
I'm absolutely, utterly, and completely certain that God wouldn't be homophobic. I'd much rather go to hell - I really would much rather go to hell - than go to a homophobic heaven.
Desmond Tutu
Being formed into a nation takes some doing.
Desmond Tutu
Those of us who came to be Christians get to remember that forgiveness cost God the death of God's son. It's an expensive thing in many ways.
Desmond Tutu
People of conscience need to break their ties with corporations financing the injustice of climate change.
Desmond Tutu
Brothers and sisters of Egypt, you have given the world the most precious gift: the belief that ultimately right will prevail.
