Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
We spend billions on banks when we know that a fraction of this money could save all the children in the world.
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
It's a fantastic thing, a very simple idea. Irrespective of your politics, of your culture, of your race, of your whatever, hierdie ding doen ons saam...Here is one thing that can unite us irrespective of all of the things that are trying to tear us apart.
Desmond Tutu
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Desmond Tutu
Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.
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
You have seen after Katrina just what failures there are in American Society.
Desmond Tutu
