Desmond Tutu Quotes About Home

• At home in South Africa I have sometimes said in big meetings where you have black and white together: 'Raise your hands!' Then I have said: 'Move your hands,' and I've said 'Look at your hands - different colors representing different people. You are the Rainbow People of God.'

• There would be no call for ecological campaigning had nature not been exploited and abused. We experience the ground now bringing forth thistles as soil erosion devastates formerly arable land and deserts overtake fertile farms. Rivers and the atmosphere are polluted thoughtlessly and we are fearful of the consequences of a depleted ozone layer and the devastation of the greenhouse effect. We are not quite at home in our world, and somewhere in each of us there is a nostalgia for a paradise that has been lost.

• Debemos actuar ahora y despertar a nuestras obligaciones morales. Los pobres y vulnerables son miembros de la familia de Dios y son los más gravemente afectados por las sequías, las altas temperaturas, las inundaciones de las ciudades costeras y los fenómenos meteorológicos más graves e impredecibles derivados del cambio climático. Nosotros, que deberíamos haber sido administradores responsables preservando nuestro vulnerable y frágil planeta hogar, hemos sido derrochadores sin sentido a través de nuestro consumismo imprudente, devorando recursos naturales irremplazables.

• El futuro de nuestro frágil y hermoso planeta está en nuestras manos. Como familia de Dios, somos administradores de su creación. Podemos ser irresponsables sin sentido, o podemos ser cuidadosos y compasivos. Dios dice: "He puesto ante ti la vida y la muerte... Elige la vida".

• Estoy profundamente conmovido por la calidez y el coraje del pueblo canadiense que sentí tan intensamente durante mi reciente visita a su país.

• ... freedom translates into having a supply of clean water, having electricity on tap; being able to live in a decent home and have a good job; to be able to send your children to school and to have accessible healthcare. I mean what's the point of having made this transition if the quality of life ... is not enhanced and improved? If not, the vote is useless.

• I would hope that wherever I was I would be me. I have been influenced by some wonderful people who showed me that there is an integral relationship between faith and life at home. Evil is evil, repression is repression anywhere. And if it is not consistent with what one believes is God's will, then I would hope that one would be able to witness it, and there are wonderful people who do so in very great risks to themselves.

• Dream of a world where poverty is history, dream of a world where we don't spend those obscene billions on arms, knowing full well that a tiny fraction of those budgets of death would ensure that children everywhere had clean water to drink, could afford the cheap inoculations against preventable diseases, would have good schools, adequate healthcare and decent homes.

  "Archbishop Desmond Tutu announces retirement from public life" by Xan Rice, www.theguardian.com. July 22, 2010.

• A leader is someone you are not disappointed in placing trust in. When that person makes suggestions, you are inclined to trust [them]. Often it is people who have been there [in a similar situation to the people he or she is leading]. They would generally be people who are ready to take the risks themselves. Most leaders would be people who don't ever give commands and remain at home and let the foot soldiers be the ones who bear the brunt.
