More quotes by Desmond Tutu
All people would really want peace and all would want to be sure that they would not be taken advantage of.
Desmond Tutu
That so called original sin does not know any racial discrimination.
Desmond Tutu
All of us experience fear, but when we confront and acknowledge it, we are able to turn it into courage. Being courageous does not mean never being scared it means acting as you know you must even though you are undeniably afraid.
Desmond Tutu
You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.
Desmond Tutu
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Desmond Tutu
Without memory, there is no healing. Without forgiveness, there is no future.
Desmond Tutu
You stand out in the crowd only because you have these many, many carrying you on their shoulders.
Desmond Tutu
The abolition of the death penalty is making us a civilized society. It shows we actually do mean business when we say we have reverence for life.
Desmond Tutu
If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together, that our destinies are bound up in one another's, that we can be free only together, that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family.
Desmond Tutu
God has such a deep reverence for our freedom that he'd rather let us freely go to Hell than be compelled to go to Heaven.
Desmond Tutu
If forgiving depended on the culprit owning up, then the victim would always be at the mercy of the perpetrator. The victim would be bound in the shackles of victimhood.
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
If you recall the happiest moments in your life, they are all from when you were doing something for somebody else.
Desmond Tutu
The world's forests are a shared stolen treasure that we must put back for our children's future
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
Desmond Tutu
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Desmond Tutu
I'm absolutely, utterly, and completely certain that God wouldn't be homophobic. I'd much rather go to hell - I really would much rather go to hell - than go to a homophobic heaven.
Desmond Tutu
In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute - a white skin.
Desmond Tutu
Catharsis returns us to the purpose for which were originally intended - to be called by God to do good - and thus ultimately returns us to ourselves.
Desmond Tutu
You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.
Desmond Tutu
