This is a moral universe, which means that, despite all the evidence that seems to be to the contrary, there is no way that evil and injustice and oppression and lies can have the last word.

More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Peace without justice is an impossibility.
Desmond Tutu
God says, 'You know what? I don't have anybody else... except you.'
Desmond Tutu
There are very good Christians who are compassionate and caring. And there are very bad Christians. You can say that about Islam, about Hinduism, about any faith. That is why I was saying that it was not the faith per se but the adherent. People will use their religion to justify virtually anything.
Desmond Tutu
I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.
Desmond Tutu
Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity, to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
Desmond Tutu
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Desmond Tutu
I'm so, so thrilled that [Pope Francis] is there at this crucial moment in the history of our world.
Desmond Tutu
When we look at a conflict, it is so often rooted in injustice, prejudice, competition for resources, poverty, poor governance and corruption.
Desmond Tutu
Is Zionism racism? I would say yes. It's a policy that to me looks like it has very many parallels with racism. The effect is the same. Whether you call it that or not is in a sense irrelevant.
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
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
Desmond Tutu
As human beings we have the most extraordinary capacity for evil. We can perpetrate some of the most horrendous atrocities.
Desmond Tutu
Too many people think that reconciliation means you soft-pedal differences.
Desmond Tutu
Nothing is too much trouble for Love.
Desmond Tutu
There is room for everyone there is room for every culture, race, language and point of view.
Desmond Tutu
To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness and reconciliation are not just ethereal, spiritual, other-worldly activities. They have to do with the real world. They are realpolitik, because in a very real sense, without forgiveness, there is no future.
Desmond Tutu
You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.
Desmond Tutu
Life is more than breath and a heartbeat meaning and purpose are the life of life.
Desmond Tutu
When you are in love you strive to do the things that will please your lover.
Desmond Tutu
