More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the most important thing is job creation. Jobs will earn people money and build self-confidence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was in London a Kachin youth criticized me for not condemning the Burmese military for their offensive in Kachin State. I answered condemnation is not the solution. We want to build reconciliation, not condemnation.

In Burma, we need to find out what we have to do in order to keep the democratization process on track. Economic reforms have to be taken one by one. You see it's not just speed that's important, it's sequencing as well. You've got to get the speed right you have to get the sequencing right.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi
Agreeing to disagree is a prerogative only of those who live under a democratic system.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
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 would like to have seen my sons growing up.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The last six years afforded me much time and food for thought. I came to the conclusion that the human race is not divided into two opposing camps of good and evil. It is made up of those who are capable of learning and those who are incapable of doing so.
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
To be forgotten, is to die a little.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
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
Sometimes I didn't even have enough money to eat. I became so weak from malnourishment that my hair fell out, and I couldn't get out of bed.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.
Aung San Suu Kyi
