More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I always say that one has no right to hope without endeavor.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Burmese political culture lacks an understanding of negotiated compromise. We have to build up that kind of culture.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I worry that even those who want to reform are not quite sure how to go about it. There is so much to be done.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Kindness can change the lives of people.
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
When you decide to follow a certain path, you should follow it to the end and not be diverted from it for personal reasons.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Peace, development, and justice are all connected to each other. We cannot talk about economic development without talking about peace. How can we expect economic development in a battlefield?
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
I think that freedom is sometimes a state of mind. Sometimes, mind you, but not always.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When fear sets in, you don't trust others and when you don't trust anyone then you become selfish.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To have compromise you must first have dialog. That is the true path of democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you give in to intimidation, you'll go on being intimidated
Aung San Suu Kyi
There's a certain age when your height stops growing and you cannot change that. This sort of body growth cannot be fixed. But there are many things that can be changed. You might have a small body structure but there are opportunities to make yourself very fit and healthy. So we'll have to work hard in many aspects.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Agreeing to disagree is a prerogative only of those who live under a democratic system.
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
Regimented minds cannot grasp the concept of confrontation as an open exchange of major differences with a view to settlement through genuine dialogue.
Aung San Suu Kyi
