The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount of protection it guarantees to the weakest.
To have compromise you must first have dialog. That is the true path of democracy.
Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.
We do need great change in Burma. We are trying to build a new society, a society where basic human rights are respected, and where our people enjoy all the benefits of democratic institutions.

In a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear. Never let fear prevent you from doing right.
