More quotes by Benazir Bhutto
To make peace, one must be an uncompromising leader. To make peace, one must also embody compromise.
Benazir Bhutto
Bhutto represents everything the fundamentalists hate - a powerful, highly-educated woman operating in a man's world, seemingly unafraid to voice her independent views and, indeed, seemingly unafraid of anything, including the very real possibility that one day someone might succeed in killing her because of who she is.
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
A people inspired by democracy, human rights and economic opportunity will turn their back decisively against extremism.
Benazir Bhutto
A political war can be fought from anywhere.
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
I'm not into smoke-filled rooms. I don't have the time for byzantine political intrigues.
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 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
Dictatorships by their nature are unrepresentative as they neglect the social needs of the people.
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
In a way, a jail is a place where you can rest, read books and live with yourself.
Benazir Bhutto
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
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
The political parties have unanimously rejected the one-man constitutional changes.
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
The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.
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
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.
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.
