More quotes by Desmond Tutu
We need other human beings in order to be human.
Desmond Tutu
There is room for everyone there is room for every culture, race, language and point of view.
Desmond Tutu
Every praying person, every person who has an encounter with God, must have a passionate concern for his or her brother and sister, his or her neighbor. To treat any of these as if he were less than the child of God is to deny the validity of one's spiritual existence.
Desmond Tutu
Beware when you take on the Church of God. Others have tried and have bitten the dust.
Desmond Tutu
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.
Desmond Tutu
Dear Child of God, I am sorry to say that suffering is not optional.
Desmond Tutu
If you are invisible, you are vulnerable. Birth Registration must be everyone's priority. Let's make all children visible and let's give every child a birthday!
Desmond Tutu
There are two forms of justice. There is what is called retributive justice and there is restorative justice.
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
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
God could have created us to be automatons who were always choosing the right side, making the right decision. It is an incredible thing, God said I want persons who therefore have freedom.
Desmond Tutu
God places us in the world as his fellow workers-agents of transfiguration. We work with God so that injustice is transfigured into justice, so there will be more compassion and caring, that there will be more laughter and joy, that there will be more togetherness in God's world.
Desmond Tutu
God loved me before I actually was.
Desmond Tutu
I think that most of us would prefer to be popular than unpopular.
Desmond Tutu
To be impartial... is indeed to have taken sides already... with the status quo.
Desmond Tutu
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Desmond Tutu
God hopes that we are going to love God back.
Desmond Tutu
The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize, things that I said yesterday, with nobody paying too much attention, I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people, and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.
Desmond Tutu
There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.
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.
