More quotes by 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
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
I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.
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
With the right kind of institutions, starting with the rule of law, Burma could progress very quickly.
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
Challenges mean opportunities as well.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
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
There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Despotic governments do not recognize the precious human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a faceless, mindless -- and helpless -- mass to be manipulated at will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation rather than its very life-blood.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Agreeing to disagree is a prerogative only of those who live under a democratic system.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One should mature over 20 years.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.
Aung San Suu Kyi
That's not how politics works - sometimes things move in a rather imperceptible way. There are no fireworks, and then comes a time when change comes unexpectedly. Sometimes change comes with a lot of fireworks, but not always.
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
The root of a nation's misfortunes has to be sought in the moral failings of the government.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When you think of Buddhism, you're likely to think of peace and tranquility.
