More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity. It is a struggle that encompasses our political, social and economic aspirations.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Part of our struggle is to make the international community understand that we are a poor country not because there is an insufficiency of resources and investment, but because we are deprived of the basic institutions and practices that make for good government.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Challenges mean opportunities as well.
Aung San Suu Kyi
As long as there is no law in Burma, any individual here can be arrested at any time.

Aung San Suu Kyi
When you think of Buddhism, you're likely to think of peace and tranquility.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always thought that the best solution for those who feel helpless is for them to help others.
Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Some believe that the only way to remove the authoritarian regime and replace it with a democratic one is through violent means. I would like to set the precedent of political change through political settlement, not through violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not believe that I'm sacrificing, in fact I feel very uneasy when others used the word sacrifice to describe my life. It sounds like I'm demanding returns for my investments. I chose to walk on this journey, because I solely believed in it and wholeheartedly decided to do so, and I'm willing and able to pay for the consequences.
Aung San Suu Kyi
A lot of the roads, bridges, railways, and such are built through the use of forced labor, and that is causing the people great suffering. What we put into this in the form of human suffering is not worth what comes out of it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you feel helpless, go help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
How can you call it a sacrifice when you choose to do something because you believe in it?
Aung San Suu Kyi
Sometimes I didn't even have enough money to eat. I became so weak from malnourishment that my hair fell out, and I couldn't get out of bed.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There can be no civil peace without the rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
All military regimes use security as the reason why they should remain in power. It's nothing original.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the more coordinated the efforts of the international community are, the better it will be for democracy in Burma.
