We have heard that it is very easy to obtain drugs on the university campuses.

There's a certain age when your height stops growing and you cannot change that. This sort of body growth cannot be fixed. But there are many things that can be changed. You might have a small body structure but there are opportunities to make yourself very fit and healthy. So we'll have to work hard in many aspects.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When you feel helpless, help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We must all work together if we are all to live together in unity and harmony.

I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.
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 judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference.
