If you want to resolve a dispute or come out from conflict, the very first thing is to speak the truth. If you have a headache and tell the doctor you have a stomachache, how can the doctor help? You must speak the truth. The truth will abolish fear.

A good girl is supposed to be very quiet

Take the example of my daughter. A lot of people were speaking out about education when the Taliban were bombing schools in Swat Valley, but Malala's voice was like a crescendo. It spread all around the world. She was the smallest but her voice was the biggest, because she was speaking for herself.

When in many societies, fathers are usually known by their sons, I am one of the few fathers who is known by his daughter, and I'm proud of it.

Education is power. It is just like a light in complete darkness.

When the voice of truth rises from the minarets, the Buddha smiles, and the broken chain of history reconnects.

Honour your daughters, trust them and most importantly, educate them.
