When you feel helpless, help someone.

The important thing is fear should not control your actions. It should not dictate what you do.

I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.

I don't want Burma to be a basket case forever.

I don't understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous.

Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure' - grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.

I was a prisoner, but I always felt free because I was not frightened So for me real freedom is freedom from fear.
