Danh ngôn của Aung San Suu Kyi (Sứ mệnh: 3)

Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
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.
I was surprised by the response of young people because there is a perception that those younger than the 1988 generation are not interested in politics.
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.
Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.
One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.
Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.
I don't understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous.
Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.
History is always changing.
I don't want to see the military falling. I want to see the military rising to dignified heights of professionalism and true patriotism.
