More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Those who invest in South Africa should not think they are doing us a favor they are here for what they get out of our cheap and abundant labor, and they should know that they are buttressing one of the most vicious systems.
Desmond Tutu
My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma
Desmond Tutu
It is very difficult now in South Africa to find anyone who ever supported apartheid.
Desmond Tutu
Religion is like a knife: you can either use it to cut bread, or stick in someone's back.
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
Let girls be girls and not brides
Desmond Tutu
People almost always imagine that life is going to be better in town and that the streets of the town are paved with gold.
Desmond Tutu
The world's forests are a shared stolen treasure that we must put back for our children's future
Desmond Tutu
I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.
Desmond Tutu
If you are invisible, you are vulnerable. Birth Registration must be everyone's priority. Let's make all children visible and let's give every child a birthday!
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
I hope that you will be amongst those young people who say we worked to change the world. We worked to make the world a more gentle, a more compassionate, a more caring world.
Desmond Tutu
Race should not be used to claim privileges and rights for one group, exclusively, which are denied other different groups. Then that is an illegitimate use of race.
Desmond Tutu
No peace is impossible when people are determined to achieve it
Desmond Tutu
Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.
Desmond Tutu
We are fundamentally good, and evil is an aberration.
Desmond Tutu
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
Desmond Tutu
The moment our dignity is undermined, we get up in arms and want to see our dignity restored - especially if we are humiliated.
Desmond Tutu
All people would really want peace and all would want to be sure that they would not be taken advantage of.
Desmond Tutu
One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them they don't have a history that they have no roots.
