More quotes by 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
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
Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.
Desmond Tutu
Life is more than breath and a heartbeat meaning and purpose are the life of life.
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

Desmond Tutu
Each one of us can be an oasis of peace.
Desmond Tutu
I have no doubt that in the future, the laws that criminalize human love and commitment will look the way the apartheid laws do to us now, so obviously wrong
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
Every praying person, every person who has an encounter with God, must have a passionate concern for his or her brother and sister, his or her neighbor. To treat any of these as if he were less than the child of God is to deny the validity of one's spiritual existence.
Desmond Tutu
There is no justice in killing in the name of justice.
Desmond Tutu
Every single one of us can do something, however small, to make a difference.
Desmond Tutu
I believe history teaches us a categorical lesson: that once a people are determined to become free, then nothing in the world can stop them reaching their goal.
Desmond Tutu
In terms of the New Testament the Jews must suffer, therefore we will put it into practice if we will in charge and there will be no sympathy for the Jews when the blacks take over.
Desmond Tutu
I have voted for the ANC, but I would very sadly not be able to vote for them after the way things have gone.
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
Mother Teresa, you could say many things about her, but certainly you would not say she was macho. Anything but.
Desmond Tutu
Sadly, the things that we have set out as being worth striving for are not ultimately the things that satisfy human longings. And why not? Because we are practically the ultimate paradox: the finite made for the infinite.
Desmond Tutu
Most of the leading figures of the Old Testament were polygamists. Abraham had several wives and concubines. If they wanted, they could say this was approved in the Bible.
Desmond Tutu
The things [Pope Francis] has done in a short period of time: the fact that he does not live in a huge papal mansion and just dropped by in the dining room where ordinary people have meals. You think of his background, where he didn't use limousines in South America, that he used public transport.
