More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Dream of a world where children can laugh and play and not be blown up by a mine they thought was a toy.
Desmond Tutu
When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, Now is that political or social? He said, I feed you. Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.
Desmond Tutu
We will only truly be free when those in bondage are finally free
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
Dear Child of God, I am sorry to say that suffering is not optional.
Desmond Tutu
Let girls be girls and not brides
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
The devastation wreaked by landmines is not only horrendous but immoral
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
It's a blessing that South Africa has a man like Nelson Mandela.
Desmond Tutu
I will never tell anyone to pick up a gun. But I will pray for the man who picks up a gun, pray that he will be less cruel than he might otherwise have been.
Desmond Tutu
There are levels of poverty in South Africa that are totally unacceptable.
Desmond Tutu
Each of us has a God-shaped space within us. Only God can fill that space. But we run ourselves ragged trying to find things other than God to fill it with.
Desmond Tutu
That so called original sin does not know any racial discrimination.
Desmond Tutu
When you are in love you strive to do the things that will please your lover.
Desmond Tutu
My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma
Desmond Tutu
Hate has no place in the house of God.
Desmond Tutu
I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.
Desmond Tutu
What is black empowerment when it seems to benefit not the vast majority but an elite that tends to be recycled?
Desmond Tutu
As a Christian, I believe in the sanctity of life and that death is a part of life.
Desmond Tutu
