More quotes by 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
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
Whatever my aims and agendas were, I never asked for power.
Benazir Bhutto
Through democracy we can address the basic needs of the people, involve them as participants in planning and restore the authority of the government.
Benazir Bhutto
Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman's ability to make everyone...feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.
Benazir Bhutto
What is not recorded is not remembered.

To make peace, one must be an uncompromising leader. To make peace, one must also embody compromise.
Benazir Bhutto
You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.
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 U.S. came to understand that Bhutto was not a threat to stability but was instead the only possible way that we could guarantee stability and keep the presidency of Musharraf intact.
Benazir Bhutto
In distinguishing between Islamic teachings and social taboos, we must remember that Islam forbids injustice Injustice against people, against nations, against women. It shuns race, color, and gender as a basis of distinction amongst fellowmen. It enshrines piety as the sole criteria for judging humankind.
Benazir Bhutto
Dictatorships by their nature are unrepresentative as they neglect the social needs of the people.
Benazir Bhutto
Oppression does not know the meaning of provincial boundaries. Aren't our energies better spent fighting the common enemy instead of each other?
Benazir Bhutto
The military wants a system that protects its policies and privileges.
Benazir Bhutto
Being in jail is difficult too because it's like being in a graveyard, you can't do much.
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
Democracy needs support and the best support for democracy comes from other democracies. Democratic nations should come together in an association designed to help each other and promote what is a universal value - democracy.
