More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi

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.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.
Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have been making constant efforts, all the time, to start dialogue with the SLORC, but you know it takes two. We don't want a monologue.

General Assembly resolution on Burma.

Sometimes, 24 hours can bring a total revolutionary change.
Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not a sacrifice, it's a choice. If you choose to do something, then you shouldn't say it's a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it
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
There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If suffering were an unavoidable part of our existence, we should try to alleviate it as far as possible in practical, earthly ways.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you want democracy, you have got to be prepared to accept the responsibilities of democracy. The people have to take part. They have to understand that they have the power to move things, and they must really commit themselves to change if they want it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps most precious is courage from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The people of my country want the two freedoms that spell security: freedom from want and freedom from fear.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I'm rather inclined to liking people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think that freedom is sometimes a state of mind. Sometimes, mind you, but not always.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To have compromise you must first have dialog. That is the true path of democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
