More quotes by 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
There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you're feeling helpless, help someone.
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
Despotic governments do not recognize the precious human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a faceless, mindless -- and helpless -- mass to be manipulated at will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation rather than its very life-blood.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To abolish fear correctly is to nurture law and order.
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
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
I felt that it was my duty not to senselessly waste my time. And since I didn't want to waste my time, I tried to accomplish as much as possible.
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
There is no intrinsic virtue to law and order unless 'law' is equated with justice and 'order' with the discipline of a people satisfied that justice has been done.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Democracy acknowledges the right to differ as well as the duty to settle differences peacefully. Authoritarian governments see criticism of their actions and doctrines as a challenge to combat.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always thought that the best solution for those who feel helpless is for them to help others.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you feel helpless, go help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think any country can survive as a prosperous and dignified country unless there is rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The greatest gift for an individual or a nation... was abhaya, fearlessness, not merely bodily courage but absence of fear from the mind.
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
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.
