More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Don't raise your voice, improve your argument. [Address at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa, 23 November 2004]
Desmond Tutu
In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.
Desmond Tutu
Do your little bit of good where you are.
Desmond Tutu
When people decide they want to be free, there is nothing that can stop them.
Desmond Tutu
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
Desmond Tutu
I have often said to my Jewish friends: Please just remember where you come from. Remember Yahweh, who said to the Israelites, 'Treat the alien well with justice.' Almost all of the passion that we have has come from the inspiration that we have got from the Jewish Scriptures.
Desmond Tutu
I don't want a moratorium on the death penalty. I want the abolition of it. I can't understand why a country [USA] that's so committed to human rights doesn't find the death penalty an obscenity.
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
We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.
Desmond Tutu
Brothers and sisters of Egypt, you have given the world the most precious gift: the belief that ultimately right will prevail.
Desmond Tutu
One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them they don't have a history that they have no roots.
Desmond Tutu
Laugh more. Don't forget to enjoy the blessings that God bestows on this beautiful planet.
Desmond Tutu
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn’t worship that God.
Desmond Tutu
This is a moral universe, which means that, despite all the evidence that seems to be to the contrary, there is no way that evil and injustice and oppression and lies can have the last word.
Desmond Tutu
I don't preach a social gospel I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person.
Desmond Tutu
God is not a diversion.
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
A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.
Desmond Tutu
When a pile of cups is tottering on the edge of the table and you warn that they will crash to the ground, in South Africa you are blamed when that happens.
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.
