More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I feel that the BBC World Service is not as versatile as it used to be - or perhaps I'm not listening at the right times.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise. If either or both sides insist on getting everything that they want - that is to say 100 percent of their demands to be met, then there can never be a settlement.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Kindness can change the lives of people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you're feeling helpless, help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
People should be concerned about installing a more sensible, responsible government. What we [the burmese] need is a government that is accountable and transparent, so that the people know what it is doing and can judge for themselves whether or not they like what is being done.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is undeniably easier to ignore the hardships of those who are too weak to demand their rights than to respond sensitively to their needs. To care is to accept responsibility, to dare to act in accordance with the dictum that the ruler is the strength of the helpless.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Human rights and rule of law are inseparably connected.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One wants to be together with one's family. That's what families are about.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think any country can survive as a prosperous and dignified country unless there is rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When you feel helpless, help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not enough to sit and hope. You have to work in order to realize your hopes.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The judiciary in Burma is not independent. It's widely known, everybody knows that.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence. Also, I think that if you use the wrong means, the ends themselves get distorted.
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 not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We want to empower our people we want to strengthen them we want to provide them with the kind of qualifications that will enable them to build up their own country themselves.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Early childhood development has proved to be very beneficial and very cost-effective in societies where this is been tried. So let's not confine ourselves to primary education. Let's think of early childhood development and education as a whole.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The quintessential revolution is that of spirit. Without this, the forces which produce the inequalities of the old order will continue to operate.
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
