Desmond Tutu quotes

Those who invest in South Africa should not think they are doing us a favour; they are here 
for what they get out of our cheap and abundant labor, and they should know that they are
buttressing one of the most vicious systems.
Desmond Tutu

God created us for fellowship. God created us so that we should form the human family,
existing together because we were made for one another.
Desmond Tutu

You and I are created for transcendence, laughter, caring. God deliberately did not make the
world perfect, for God is looking for you and me to be fellow workers with God.
Desmond Tutu

We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because
black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about;
our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.
Desmond Tutu

Unless we work assiduously so that all of God's children, our brothers and sisters, members of
our one human family, all will enjoy basic human rights, the right to a fulfilled life, the right of
movement, of work, the freedom to be fully human, with a humanity measured by nothing less
than the humanity of Jesus Christ himself, then we are on the road inexorably to
self-destruction.
Desmond Tutu
