More quotes by 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
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
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.

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.

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.

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
I find that whenever I am in power, or my father was in power, somehow good things happen. The economy picks up, we have good rains, water comes, people have crops. I think the reason this happens is that we want to give love and we receive love.
Benazir Bhutto
Democracy needs support, and the best support for democracy comes from other democracies.
Benazir Bhutto
The Holy Book calls upon Muslims to resist tyranny. Dictatorships in Pakistan, however long, have, therefore, always collapsed in the face of this spirit.
Benazir Bhutto
The people who resent me do so because I'm a woman, I'm young, and I'm a Bhutto. Well, the simple answer is, it doesn't matter that I'm a woman, it doesn't matter that I'm young, and it's a matter of pride that I'm a Bhutto.
Benazir Bhutto
I'm not into smoke-filled rooms. I don't have the time for byzantine political intrigues.
