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
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
I am human because I belong, I participate, I share.
Desmond Tutu
We can be human only together. A person is a person to other persons.
