More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
What I have experienced is nothing compared to what political prisoners in prisons suffer.
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
The root of a nation's misfortunes has to be sought in the moral failings of the government.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fires of suffering and strife are raging around the world.
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
We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Freedom must be demanded and defended, by those who have been denied it and by those who are already free.
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
If you're feeling helpless, help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So free men and women are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and uphold the disciplines which will maintain a free society.
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
It cannot be doubted that in most countries today women, in comparison to men, still remain underprivileged.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
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
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
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
I think it's time for the Army to understand that power should be enshrined in the people if we are to be a genuine democracy and not in any particular institution or organisation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If I advocate cautious optimism it is not because I do not have faith in the future but because I do not want to encourage blind faith.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The four basic ingredients for success are: you must have the will to want something you must have the right kind of attitude you must have perseverance, and then you must have wisdom. Then you combine these four and then you get to where you want to get to.
