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.

More quotes by Benazir Bhutto
It is one thing being able to contest an election and to give the people hope that I can be the next prime minister. It is a totally different situation where the people of Pakistan are told that the results are already taken and the leader of your choice is banned.
Benazir Bhutto
What is not recorded is not remembered.
Benazir Bhutto
The next decade cannot be a decade of confrontation and contention. It cannot be east vs. West. It cannot be men vs. women. It cannot be Islam vs. Christianity. That is what the enemies of dialogue want.

To make peace, one must be an uncompromising leader. To make peace, one must also embody compromise.
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
The military wants a system that protects its policies and privileges.
Benazir Bhutto
I'm not into smoke-filled rooms. I don't have the time for byzantine political intrigues.

The Orange Revolution in Ukraine is a good example of how people, who are robbed of their right to vote, can protest and put an end to dictatorship.
Benazir Bhutto
I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.
Benazir Bhutto
I found that a whole series of people opposed me simply on the grounds that I was a woman. The clerics took to the mosque saying that Pakistan had thrown itself outside the Muslim world and the Muslim umar by voting for a woman, that a woman had usurped a man's place in the Islamic society.
Benazir Bhutto
All our problems, all our disputes, all our disagreements can be resolved quickly to mutual satisfaction if we address the question.
Benazir Bhutto
I don't fear death. I remember my last meeting with my father when he told me, You know, tonight when I will be killed, my mother and my father will be waiting for me. It makes me weepy ... but I don't think it can happen unless God wants it to happen because so many people have tried to kill me.
Benazir Bhutto
Every dictator uses religion as a prop to keep himself in power.
