Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
To treat anyone as if they were less than human, less than a brother or a sister, no matter what they have done, is to contravene the very laws of our humanity.
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
God is not a diversion.
Desmond Tutu
Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?
Desmond Tutu
How could you have a soccer team if all were goalkeepers? How would it be an orchestra if all were French horns?
