More quotes by Desmond Tutu
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
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
The reprisal against the suicide bomber does not bring peace. There is a suicide bomber, a reprisal and then a counter-reprisal. And it just goes on and on.
Desmond Tutu
The sad problem is that we see ourselves as being quite terribly small. Instead of spending my time being envious, I need to celebrate your and my different gifts, even if mine are perhaps less spectacular than yours.
Desmond Tutu
For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too.
Desmond Tutu
All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others
Desmond Tutu
Our lives are a response to a love that we already have received.
Desmond Tutu
The moment our dignity is undermined, we get up in arms and want to see our dignity restored - especially if we are humiliated.
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
We so desperately long for all of us to learn that we are meant for one another. We are meant for complementarity. The Syrians are members of our family.
Desmond Tutu
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.
Desmond Tutu
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
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
God says, 'You know what? I don't have anybody else... except you.'
Desmond Tutu
My flock is black, my flock is white. One has got to say to our people, I love you. I care for you, enormously. And when I care about black liberation, it is because I care about white liberation.
Desmond Tutu
I don't often want to speak. I try to be a reasonable person and to be diplomatic, but you go to that place and you see the settlements, you see what has happened to the land that was owned by the Palestinians.
Desmond Tutu
Every situation of justice is an occasion where someone is being humiliated and they want to restore their dignity.
Desmond Tutu
There is no peace precisely because there has been no justice. As painful and inconvenient as justice may be, we have seen that the alternative allowing accountability to fall by the wayside is worse.
Desmond Tutu
We mustn't romanticize suffering. It can turn people bitter and hard, although it does seem to have been almost indispensable in making people into the kind of leaders that we admire.
Desmond Tutu
