More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
You must remember that democracy is made up not only of the executive, but the legislature and the judiciary.
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
I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is man's vision of a world fit for rational, civilized humanity which leads him to dare and to suffer to build societies free from want and fear. Concepts such as truth, justice and compassion cannot be dismissed as trite when these are often the only bulwarks which stand against ruthless power.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.
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
Burma is not yet a full-fledged democracy. We have started working on the road to full democracy. We have a lot of things to do in order to build a democratic structure and to be become a full-fledged democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Please use your freedom to promote ours.
Aung San Suu Kyi
My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When the Nobel Committee chose to honor me, the road I had chosen of my own free will became a less lonely path to follow.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Young people drift away from society because, in many cases, they have no hope or goals. So, hope will have to be given to the young.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I was a bit of a coward when I was small. I was terribly frightened of the dark.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To be forgotten, is to die a little.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Human rights and rule of law are inseparably connected.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The [Burmese] government appears to be more interested in stamping out political activity than drug addiction. Very few university students on the campus could get away with engaging in political activities, but they seem to be able to get away with taking drugs. We have heard that it is very easy to obtain drugs on the university campuses.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You may not think about politics, but politics think about you.
