More quotes by Desmond Tutu
God is not a diversion.
Desmond Tutu
Those of us who came to be Christians get to remember that forgiveness cost God the death of God's son. It's an expensive thing in many ways.
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
Without forgiveness, there's no future.
Desmond Tutu
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
I can't control what happens to me, but I can control how I respond to it.
Desmond Tutu
Life is funny and we are really funny, especially when we get to be hoity toity we can be so ridiculous. Life is fun.
Desmond Tutu
The time has now come to slow down, to sip Rooibos tea with my beloved wife in the afternoons, to watch cricket, to travel to visit my children and grandchildren, rather than to conferences and conventions and university campuses.
Desmond Tutu
Suffering is part and parcel of the human condition, but suffering can either embitter or ennoble us. It can ennoble us and become a spirituality of transformation when we find meaning in it.
Desmond Tutu
Theology reminded me that, however diabolical the act, it did not turn the perpetrator into a demon. We had to distinguish between the deed and the perpetrator, between the sinner and the sin, to hate and condemn the sin while being filled with compassion for the sinner.
Desmond Tutu
Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our wives, our sisters, our mothers.
Desmond Tutu
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Desmond Tutu
I am not an afterthought I am not an accident.
Desmond Tutu
If we have loved well while we were alive, there is life after death here-our love will go on for generations.
Desmond Tutu
I'm so, so thrilled that [Pope Francis] is there at this crucial moment in the history of our world.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness and reconciliation are not just ethereal, spiritual, other-worldly activities. They have to do with the real world. They are realpolitik, because in a very real sense, without forgiveness, there is no future.
Desmond Tutu
If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible. There's nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible.
Desmond Tutu
Resentment and anger are bad for your blood pressure and your digestion.
Desmond Tutu
People almost always imagine that life is going to be better in town and that the streets of the town are paved with gold.
Desmond Tutu
