More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I always say that one has no right to hope without endeavor.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Kindness can change the lives of people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the most important thing is job creation. Jobs will earn people money and build self-confidence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
India and Burma have been close friends since the days we were struggling for independence. And I'm a great admirer of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, and all those leaders of India's independence movement. I would like to believe the aspirations and hopes we shared in the past will continue to bind us in the future.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Foreign investors will not come and do things without any returns for themselves. And we don't expect them to come work for us free. But the local population should benefit rightfully. The locals should benefit just a little more than the companies.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Art history is always changing too.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount of protection it guarantees to the weakest.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There should be no political prisoners in a democratic country.
Aung San Suu Kyi
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others. Even the briefest touch of kindness can lighten a heavy heart. Kindness can change the lives of people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
A revolution simply means great change, significant change, and that's how I'm defining it - great change for the better, brought about through non-violent means.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Government leaders are amazing. So often it seems they are the last to know what the people want.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is the love of ordinary people, in Burma, in Japan or anywhere else in the world, for justice and peace and freedom that is our surest defense against the forces of unreason and extremism.
Aung San Suu Kyi
More people, especially young people, are realising that if they want change, they've got to go about it themselves – they can't depend on a particular person, ie me, to do all the work. They are less easy to fool than they used to be, they now know what's going on all over the world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was in London a Kachin youth criticized me for not condemning the Burmese military for their offensive in Kachin State. I answered condemnation is not the solution. We want to build reconciliation, not condemnation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you feel helpless, go help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.
