More quotes by Desmond Tutu
We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.
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
Some people are able to use Bible as a means of opposing injustice, whereas others are able to find justification.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

It is very difficult now in South Africa to find anyone who ever supported apartheid.
Desmond Tutu
Hate has no place in the house of God. No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity - or because of their sexual orientation.
Desmond Tutu
Religion is like a knife: you can either use it to cut bread, or stick in someone's back.
Desmond Tutu
Europe became rich because it exploited Africa and the Africans know that.
Desmond Tutu
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Desmond Tutu
It means a great deal to those who are oppressed to know that they are not alone. And never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is insignificant.
Desmond Tutu
The world's forests are a shared stolen treasure that we must put back for our children's future
Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
Desmond Tutu
It was Christians, you know, not Pagans, who were responsible for the Holocaust. It was Christians, not Pagans, who lynched people here in the South, who burned people at the stake, frequently in the name of this Jesus Christ.
