I think that most of us would prefer to be popular than unpopular.
Desmond Tutu
Image
If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together, that our destinies are bound up in one another's, that we can be free only together, that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family.
Desmond Tutu

We can arrive at better solutions to any problem or pain together, than we can by ourselves. The beauty of the modern age is that you are able to source answers, and sometimes the genius is in the combination of ideas and energy that does not reside in only one person.
Desmond Tutu
Image
To forgive is to abandon your right to pay back the predator in his own coin, but it is the loss that Liberates.

A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.
Desmond Tutu

When a chap is in love, he will go out in all kinds of weather to keep an appointment with his beloved. Love can be demanding, in fact more demanding than law. It has its own imperatives - think of a mother sitting by the bedside of a sick child through the night, impelled only by love. Nothing is too much trouble for love.

Nothing is too much trouble for Love.
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
Image
It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant.
Desmond Tutu
Image
Never let anyone make you feel inferior for being who you are. When you live the life you were meant to live, in freedom and dignity
Desmond Tutu
Image
In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.
Desmond Tutu
Image
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
Image
Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.
Desmond Tutu
Image
I don't know any religion that promotes violence. It is the adherents of whatever religion.
Desmond Tutu
Image
I think that most of us would say that ubuntu basically speaks about what it means to be human.
Desmond Tutu
Image
There are two forms of justice. There is what is called retributive justice and there is restorative justice.
