More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
A lot of the roads, bridges, railways, and such are built through the use of forced labor, and that is causing the people great suffering. What we put into this in the form of human suffering is not worth what comes out of it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To view the opposition as dangerous is to misunderstand the basic concepts of democracy. To oppress the opposition is to assault the very foundation of democracy.
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
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
When fear sets in, you don't trust others and when you don't trust anyone then you become selfish.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not power that corrupts but fear.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When you feel helpless, help someone.
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 don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.
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
The judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The value systems of those with access to power and of those far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.
Aung San Suu Kyi
What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.
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
The main aim of the [political] dialogue should be to resolve the problems of the nation, not to find who is the winner and who is the loser. That's not what it's all about. It's to try and find an answer that is acceptable to all parties concerned, which would of course require some give and take.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is a time to be quiet and a time to talk.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is no intrinsic virtue to law and order unless 'law' is equated with justice and 'order' with the discipline of a people satisfied that justice has been done.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We must all work together if we are all to live together in unity and harmony.
Aung San Suu Kyi
