Authors: Aung San Suu Kyi Quotes, Sayings |
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the
world in this day and age.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Running for parliament in Burmese by-elections
2012.
Revered monks and people. This public rally is aimed at informing
the whole world of the will of the people... Our purpose is
to show that the entire people entertain the keenest desire
for a multiparty democratic system of government.
Aung San Suu Kyi
First public speech 26 August 1988.

all that was going on.
Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi
First public speech 26 August 1988.
It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power
corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power
corrupts those who are subject to it.

It would be difficult to dispel ignorance unless there is
freedom to pursue the truth unfettered by fear.

The quintessential revolution is that of the spirit, born
of an intellectual conviction of the need for change in those
mental attitudes and values which shape the course of a nation's
development. A revolution which aims merely at changing official
policies and institutions with a view to an improvement in
material conditions has little chance of genuine success.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Acceptance message for 1990 Sakharov Prize
for Freedom of Thought 1991.
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human
rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment,
fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family,
property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of
isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear
is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom,
condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the
small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's
self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for
a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle
that might is right to free themselves from the enervating
miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery
courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural
state of civilized man.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Acceptance message for 1990 Sakharov Prize
for Freedom of Thought 1991.
It is man's vision of a world fit for rational, civilized
humanity which leads him to dare and to suffer to build societies
free from want and fear. Concepts such as truth, justice and
compassion cannot be dismissed as trite when these are often
the only bulwarks which stand against ruthless power.

Acceptance message for 1990 Sakharov Prize

Those of us who decided to work for democracy in Burma made
our choice in the conviction that the danger of standing up
for basic human rights in a repressive society was preferable
to the safety of a quiescent life in servitude.
Aung San Suu Kyi
International Herald Tribune February 1997.
We have faith in the power to change what needs to be changed
but we are under no illusion that the transition from dictatorship
to liberal democracy will be easy, or that democratic government
will mean the end of all our problems.
Aung San Suu Kyi
International Herald Tribune February 1997.
No matter the regime's physical power, in the end they can't
stop the people; they can't stop freedom. We shall have our
time. Aung San Suu Kyi
Interview with British journalist John
Pilger, during 2007 uprising that was brutally down by the military.
Human beings the world over need freedom and security that
they may be able to realize their full potential.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Our struggle for democracy is a struggle for our everyday
life. Aung San Suu Kyi
The people of Burma are like prisoners in their own country,
deprived of all freedom under military rule.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think I should be active politically. Because I look upon
myself as a politician. That's not a dirty work you know.
Some people think that there are something wrong with politicians.
Of course, something wrong with some politicians.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You can never separate the political system of a country
from the way you conduct your daily life.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is often in the name of cultural integrity as well as
social stability and national security that democratic reforms
based on human rights are resisted by authoritarian governments.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by
any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The democracy process provides for political and social change
without violence. Aung San Suu Kyi

any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The history of the world shows that peoples and societies
do not have to pass through a fixed series of stages in the
course of development. Aung San Suu Kyi
The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a
struggle for life and dignity. It is a struggle that encompasses
our political, social and economic aspirations.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The value systems of those with access to power and of those
far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint
of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.
