More quotes by Benazir Bhutto
A political war can be fought from anywhere.
Benazir Bhutto
All through the years of the Soviet empire, its Politburo held 'elections.' Of course, calling something an election and actually having it be an election are different things.
Benazir Bhutto
I still want to return home whenever I get a chance.
Benazir Bhutto
Whatever my aims and agendas were, I never asked for power.
Benazir Bhutto
In a way, a jail is a place where you can rest, read books and live with yourself.
Benazir Bhutto
The forces of moderation and democracy must, and will, prevail against extremism and dictatorship. I will not be intimidated... Despite threats of death, I will not acquiesce to tyranny, but rather lead the fight against it.
Benazir Bhutto
To make peace, one must be an uncompromising leader. To make peace, one must also embody compromise.
Benazir Bhutto
My father always would say, My daughter will go into politics? My daughter will become prime minister, but it's not what I wanted to do. I would say, No, Papa, I will never go into politics. As I've said before, this is not the life I chose it chose me ... But I accepted the responsibility and I've never wavered in my commitment.
Benazir Bhutto
Clearly it's not easy for woman in modern society, no matter where we live. We still have to go extra mile to prove that we are equal to men. We have to work longer hours and make more sacrifices. And we must emotionally protect ourselves from unfair, often vicious attacks made on us.
Benazir Bhutto
It's never easy dealing with terrorists, but it must be done through a mixture of political, economic and administrative means.
Benazir Bhutto
Being in jail is difficult too because it's like being in a graveyard, you can't do much.
Benazir Bhutto
I have led an unusual life. I have buried a father killed at age 50 and two brothers killed in the prime of their lives. I raised my children as a single mother when my husband was arrested and held for eight years without a conviction - a hostage to my political career.
Benazir Bhutto
Ultimately, leadership is about the strength of one's convictions, the ability to endure the punches, and the energy to promote an idea. And I have found that those who do achieve peace never acquiesce to obstacles, especially those constructed of bigotry, intolerance, and inflexible tradition.
Benazir Bhutto
The military wants a system that protects its policies and privileges.
Benazir Bhutto
I've never had a bank account in Switzerland since 1984. Why would the Swiss do this to me? Maybe the Swiss are trying to divert attention from the Holocaust gold scandal.
Benazir Bhutto
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother.
Benazir Bhutto
A people inspired by democracy, human rights and economic opportunity will turn their back decisively against extremism.
Benazir Bhutto
No, I am not pregnant. I am fat. And, as the Prime Minister, its my right to be fat if I want to.
Benazir Bhutto
My father was the Prime Minister of Pakistan. My grandfather had been in politics, too however, my own inclination was for a job other than politics. I wanted to be a diplomat, perhaps do some journalism - certainly not politics.
Benazir Bhutto
The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.
