More quotes by Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
Some people are able to use Bible as a means of opposing injustice, whereas others are able to find justification.
Desmond Tutu
When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it's again not people who are intrinsically evil.
Desmond Tutu
It's a blessing that South Africa has a man like Nelson Mandela.
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness is something that we are often asked to grant and very few of us ever have the roadmap of how to get from the pain that we have experienced to being able to forgive someone.
Desmond Tutu
To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.
Desmond Tutu
The devastation wreaked by landmines is not only horrendous but immoral
Desmond Tutu
Beware when you take on the Church of God. Others have tried and have bitten the dust.
