More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Whether you want to say Israel practices apartheid is immaterial. They are doing things, given their history, you think, Do you remember what happened to you? Then they clobber you and say, You are anti-Semitic.
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 think that most of us would prefer to be popular than unpopular.
Desmond Tutu
If we have loved well while we were alive, there is life after death here-our love will go on for generations.
Desmond Tutu
As human beings, even if we were to have tried to forget the past, if you dealt with it in a cavalier fashion, it would return to haunt you.
Desmond Tutu
If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible. There's nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible.
Desmond Tutu
All the United States, it is a society that is split like to the bottom, that had very poor people in the country that is one of the wealthiest countries.
Desmond Tutu
When a fire starts in one it just races through. And that is in a way unconscionable.
Desmond Tutu
You are not an afterthought, you are not an accident.
Desmond Tutu
No peace is impossible when people are determined to achieve it
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
Desmond Tutu
We can enjoy a self-assurance that doesn't depend on the state of things outside ourselves, be it downturns or booms or whatever.
Desmond Tutu
Nothing is too much trouble for Love.
Desmond Tutu
We will only truly be free when those in bondage are finally free
Desmond Tutu
We need to be accountable to God's family. Once we start living in a way that is people-friendly to all of God's family, we will also be environment-friendly.
Desmond Tutu
The destruction of the earth’s environment is the human rights challenge of our time.
Desmond Tutu
The fossil reserves that have already been discovered exceed what can ever be safely used. Yet companies spend half a trillion dollars each year searching for more fuel. They should redirect this money toward developing clean energy solutions
Desmond Tutu
We don't want apartheid liberalized. We want it dismantled. You can't improve something that is intrinsically evil.
Desmond Tutu
It was relatively easy, we now realize, to categorize countries and nations. You knew who your enemies were and whom you could count on as collaborators and friends. And even more importantly, you had ready-made scapegoats to take the blame when things were going wrong.
Desmond Tutu
When a chap is in love, he will go out in all kinds of weather to keep an appointment with his beloved. Love can be demanding, in fact more demanding than law. It has its own imperatives - think of a mother sitting by the bedside of a sick child through the night, impelled only by love. Nothing is too much trouble for love.
