More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
We must all work together if we are all to live together in unity and harmony.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Assuming the chairmanship of ASEAN isn't going to do anything about improving the lives of people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think that freedom is sometimes a state of mind. Sometimes, mind you, but not always.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To be forgotten, is to die a little.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The quintessential revolution is that of spirit. Without this, the forces which produce the inequalities of the old order will continue to operate.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think more women should be involved in politics for the good of the human race.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
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
It is not enough to sit and hope. You have to work in order to realize your hopes.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have been making constant efforts, all the time, to start dialogue with the SLORC, but you know it takes two. We don't want a monologue. We would like a substantive political dialogue among the SLORC, political leaders including myself, and leaders of ethnic groups-exactly as stipulated in the U.N. General Assembly resolution on Burma.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Challenges mean opportunities as well.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is incorrect to say there have been no reforms at all in Burma there have of course been reforms, but we still need to do more for the people. To become a democratic society we have to continually be reforming.
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
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
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
Aung San Suu Kyi
By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.
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.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the more coordinated the efforts of the international community are, the better it will be for democracy in Burma.
