More quotes by Desmond Tutu
In most, when you go to church, most churches when they have images of the good shepherd, they show Jesus carrying a nice fluffy lamb. Now fluffy little lambs don't stray from their mommy's. The sheep that will stray is the most obstreperous, troublesome one.
Desmond Tutu
No future without forgiveness.
Desmond Tutu
Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.
Desmond Tutu
God is not a diversion.
Desmond Tutu
Too frequently we think we have to do spectacular things. Yet if we remember that the sea is actually made up of drops of water and each drop counts, each one of us can do our little bit where we are. Those little bits can come together and almost overwhelm the world. Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.
Desmond Tutu
Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.
Desmond Tutu
God hopes that we are going to love God back.
Desmond Tutu
A person is a person through other persons you can't be human in isolation you are human only in relationships.
Desmond Tutu
For both the offender and the victim, the pain is there, often unacknowledged and that is when it can cause harm through festering. When I ignore a physical wound, it does not go away. No, it festers and goes bad.
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
God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
Desmond Tutu
Some people are able to use Bible as a means of opposing injustice, whereas others are able to find justification.
Desmond Tutu
Naming a center after a person who is still alive can make it seem that an individual somehow on their own was able to accomplish what he accomplished.
Desmond Tutu
I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven.
Desmond Tutu
Goodness is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Light is stronger than darkness. Life is stronger than death. Victory is ours through Him who loved us.
Desmond Tutu
The final and full revelation of God is not a book, it is a person. Jesus Christ.
Desmond Tutu
I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.
Desmond Tutu
But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.
Desmond Tutu
You stand out in the crowd only because you have these many, many carrying you on their shoulders.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence.
