More quotes by Desmond Tutu
I am passionately opposed to the death penalty for anyone . . . I think, myself, that it is an obscenity . . .
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
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
No future without forgiveness.
Desmond Tutu
Jesus could weep. Sometimes when you look at the ugliness that makes you weep, you know that the heart of God is also weeping. Jesus is for real. He does not give up on anyone, least of all on me.
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
I think it is a good exercise to ask oneself, How would I have wanted to be treated?
Desmond Tutu
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
Desmond Tutu
Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.
Desmond Tutu
The things [Pope Francis] has done in a short period of time: the fact that he does not live in a huge papal mansion and just dropped by in the dining room where ordinary people have meals. You think of his background, where he didn't use limousines in South America, that he used public transport.
Desmond Tutu
If I diminish you, I diminish myself
Desmond Tutu
When we look squarely at injustice and get involved, we actually feel less pain, not more, because we overcome the gnawing guilt and despair that festers under our numbness. We clean the wound - our own and others' - and it can finally heal.
Desmond Tutu
I regard Abraham as my ancestor. Some of the greatest inspiration I have got has come from what we call the Old Testament prophets and what Jews would say our prophets.
Desmond Tutu
True peace must be anchored in justice and an unwavering commitment to universal rights for all humans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin or any other identity attribute.
Desmond Tutu
We must stop climate change. And we can, if we use the tactics that worked in South Africa against the worst carbon emitters.
Desmond Tutu
A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.
Desmond Tutu
Most of the leading figures of the Old Testament were polygamists. Abraham had several wives and concubines. If they wanted, they could say this was approved in the Bible.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.
Desmond Tutu
Every situation of justice is an occasion where someone is being humiliated and they want to restore their dignity. They think, I am a human being and I may not be able to defeat these people or destroy them, but I will hit out at them, because I am not a thing, I am human.
Desmond Tutu
