More quotes by Desmond Tutu
I believe in MasterPeace. World leaders cannot push back armed conflict alone. We need the whole world to make this happen.
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
I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
If forgiving depended on the culprit owning up, then the victim would always be at the mercy of the perpetrator. The victim would be bound in the shackles of victimhood.
Desmond Tutu
There are very few institutions that give prizes to people who may not have got to be number one, but are possibly better at coaxing the best out of others.
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
God is trying to woo us into a love affair with God.
Desmond Tutu
Nuclear abolition is the democratic wish of the world's people, and has been our goal almost since the dawn of the atomic age. Together, we have the power to decide whether the nuclear era ends in a bang or worldwide celebration.
Desmond Tutu
Freedom and liberty lose out by default because good people are not vigilant.
Desmond Tutu
Instead of separation and division, all distinctions make for a rich diversity to be celebrated for the sake of the unity that underlies them. We are different so that we can know our need of one another.
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
The world's forests are a shared stolen treasure that we must put back for our children's future
Desmond Tutu
Human beings are fundamentally good.
