More quotes by Desmond Tutu
God says, 'You know what? I don't have anybody else... except you.'
Desmond Tutu
God looks at the Middle East, looks at Palestine. When you go to the Holy Land and see what's being done to the Palestinians at checkpoints, for us, it's the kind of thing we experienced in South Africa.
Desmond Tutu
Once you have women liberated, it's amazing how many other problems get resolved--pover ty, education, health. Women are the key in any community.
Desmond Tutu
You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.
Desmond Tutu
Niger is not an isolated island of desperation. It lies within a sea of problems across Africa - particularly the 'forgotten emergencies' in poor countries or regions with little strategic or material appeal.
Desmond Tutu
Freedom is indivisible. Whites can't enjoy their separate freedoms. They spend too much time and resources defending those freedoms instead of enjoying them.
Desmond Tutu
It is quite exhilarating to speak about a God who has an incredible bias, a notorious bias in favor of the downtrodden. You look at Exodus and the Israelites' escape from a bottomless pit. God is not evenhanded. God is biased up to his eyebrows.
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
There are levels of poverty in South Africa that are totally unacceptable.
Desmond Tutu
My vote is my secret.
Desmond Tutu
In most, when you go to church, most churches when they have images of the good shepherd, they show Jesus carrying a nice fluffy lamb. Now fluffy little lambs don't stray from their mommy's. The sheep that will stray is the most obstreperous, troublesome one.
Desmond Tutu
The moment our dignity is undermined, we get up in arms and want to see our dignity restored - especially if we are humiliated.
Desmond Tutu
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Desmond Tutu
Do your little bit of good where you are.
Desmond Tutu
Let girls be girls and not brides
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
Is Zionism racism? I would say yes. It's a policy that to me looks like it has very many parallels with racism. The effect is the same. Whether you call it that or not is in a sense irrelevant.
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
You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.
Desmond Tutu
The reprisal against the suicide bomber does not bring peace. There is a suicide bomber, a reprisal and then a counter-reprisal. And it just goes on and on.
