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

We must make democracy the popular creed...If we should fail to do this, our people are bound to suffer... That is what my father said. It is the reason why I am participating in this struggle.

I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable.

We must contemplate what the meaning of being "educated" is. Some people think a person with plenty of degrees is an educated one. But I believe a person who can judge a situation correctly and make timely decisions is more important.

My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves.

I'm not the only one working for democracy in Burma - there are so many people who have worked for it because they believe that this is the only way we can maintain the dignity of our people.
