One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.

Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.

The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all.

The judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference.

I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.

In Burma, we have only about four percent of the people in our country who are (college) graduates. So can we not value the majority? No, we must. If we just value the graduates, then does that mean our people are not valuable? I don't believe that. What is important is we need right people in right positions.

Fear is a habit; I am not afraid.
