More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Life is more than breath and a heartbeat meaning and purpose are the life of life.
Desmond Tutu
Our Lord wanted us to be Christ-like. Christ-like doesn't mean not having faults. It means that you do actually have a capacity to draw out the good that is in others.
Desmond Tutu
Jesus could weep. Sometimes when you look at the ugliness that makes you weep, you know that the heart of God is also weeping. Jesus is for real. He does not give up on anyone, least of all on me.
Desmond Tutu
Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.
Desmond Tutu
The leaders that the world admires seem almost all to be people who haven't had things quite so smooth or easy in their lives.
Desmond Tutu
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
Desmond Tutu
Revenge has a way of corroding you, the revenger. You know it doesn't heal you.
Desmond Tutu
Nothing is too much trouble for Love.
Desmond Tutu
Europe became rich because it exploited Africa and the Africans know that.
Desmond Tutu
All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others
Desmond Tutu
There are very good Christians who are compassionate and caring. And there are very bad Christians. You can say that about Islam, about Hinduism, about any faith. That is why I was saying that it was not the faith per se but the adherent. People will use their religion to justify virtually anything.
Desmond Tutu
Our Christian faith is actually very subversive of the conventional notion of success - the notion that what invests a person with worth is something extrinsic.
Desmond Tutu
As a Christian, I believe in the sanctity of life and that death is a part of life.
Desmond Tutu
God says, Please, please help me realize this dream. And some of God's best collaborators are the young, because you dream. You dream God's dream.
Desmond Tutu
Too frequently we think we have to do spectacular things. Yet if we remember that the sea is actually made up of drops of water and each drop counts, each one of us can do our little bit where we are. Those little bits can come together and almost overwhelm the world. Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence.
Desmond Tutu
We are made for loving. If we don’t love, we will be like plants without water.
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
I regard Abraham as my ancestor. Some of the greatest inspiration I have got has come from what we call the Old Testament prophets and what Jews would say our prophets.
Desmond Tutu
Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.
