We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. We cannot afford to use methods of which we will be ashamed when we look back, when we say, '...we shouldn't have done that.' We must remember, my friends, that we have been given a wonderful cause. The cause of freedom! And you and I must be those who will walk with heads held high. We will say, 'We used methods that can stand the harsh scrutiny of history.'

All people would really want peace and all would want to be sure that they would not be taken advantage of.

You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.

We have a planet that is at risk, where resources don't have a permanent life. We are going to have to make the decision: are we going to survive or are we waiting for our extinction? One day we will wake up and find people are fighting not for oil but water.

Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Language is very powerful. Language does not just describe reality. Language creates the reality it describes.

We pray that Aung San Suu Kyi and her country are now on a path to freedom
