More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi

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
It is part of the unceasing human endeavor to prove that the spirit of man can transcend the flaws of his own nature.
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
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
It is essential to institute a legal framework that would ensure justice and improve the quality of life in Burma immediately, because the greatest suffering among the people at the moment is caused by lack of justice and lack of the rule of law.

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
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
It is the love of ordinary people, in Burma, in Japan or anywhere else in the world, for justice and peace and freedom that is our surest defense against the forces of unreason and extremism.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think I should be active politically. Because I look upon myself as a politician. That's not a dirty work you know. Some people think that there are something wrong with politicians. Of course, something wrong with some politicians.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If the restrictions on the work of my party and on me personally are not removed in the very, very near future - that is in a matter of days - I think the United States should start thinking seriously of sanctions. This is really about as bad as it has ever been.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
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
When fear sets in, you don't trust others and when you don't trust anyone then you become selfish.
Aung San Suu Kyi
What I have experienced is nothing compared to what political prisoners in prisons suffer.
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
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.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
