More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is a time to be quiet and a time to talk.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I feel that the BBC World Service is not as versatile as it used to be - or perhaps I'm not listening at the right times.
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
Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others. Even the briefest touch of kindness can lighten a heavy heart. Kindness can change the lives of people.
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
Some of the most relaxing weekends I have ever enjoyed were those I spent quietly with a sense of all work to date completed, and an absorbing mystery.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Each man has in him the potential to realize the truth through his own will and endeavour and to help others to realize it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
After all it was my father who founded the Burmese army and I do have a sense of warmth towards the Burmese army.
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
Burma wants to have good relations with our neighboring countries, China and India. I do believe the United States itself wants to live in harmony with China and India. That's why we have to lay down political policies that are fair for everyone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If ideas and beliefs are to be denied validity outside the geographical and cultural bounds of their origin, Buddhism would be confined to north India, Christianity to a narrow tract in the Middle East and Islam to Arabia.
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 have a great many things to do when you are under house arrest. On the one hand, it is more comfortable than sitting in prison on the other hand, you have to look after a household, which is strenuous under such circumstances.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The provision of basic material needs is not sufficient to make minority groups and indigenous peoples feel they are truly part of the greater national entity. For that they have to be confident that they too have an active role to play in shaping the destiny of the state that demands their allegiance.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Jobless people will have no self-confidence. And they feel they are worthless because when you don't have a job you have to rely on someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Please use your freedom to promote ours.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The peace of our world is indivisible. As long as negative forces are getting the better of positive forces anywhere, we are all at risk.
Aung San Suu Kyi
