All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

I would like to ask the many Filipino people to pray together, to help each other so that we will be able to preserve the democracy we restored 20 years ago.

I know there isn't anything I can do that will please everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.

I am not embarrassed to tell you that I believe in miracles.

It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship.

I am not an icon of democracy. You are all, collectively, the icon of democracy.

The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.
