dream hope believe
I've always said there's no hope without endeavor. Hope has no meaning unless we are prepared to work to realize our hopes and dreams but in order to that we do need to have friends. We need those who believe in us. Friends are those who believe in us and who want to help us whatever it is that we are trying to achieve.
believe mean political
Some believe that the only way to remove the authoritarian regime and replace it with a democratic one is through violent means. I would like to set the precedent of political change through political settlement, not through violence.
believe thinking phases
I don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.
believe rights law
There are those who argue that the concept of human rights is not applicable to all cultures. We in the National League for Democracy believe that human rights are of universal relevance. But even those who do not believe in human rights must certainly agree that the rule of law is most important. Without the rule of law there can be no peace.
believe sacrifice you-choose
How can you call it a sacrifice when you choose to do something because you believe in it?
hope country believe
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping. We work for what we want. I always say that one has no right to hope without endeavor, so we work to try and bring about the situation that is necessary for the country, and we are confident that we will get to the negotiation table at one time or another. This is the way all such situations pan out even with the most truculent dictator.
believe people democracy
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.
believe sacrifice journey
I do not believe that I'm sacrificing, in fact I feel very uneasy when others used the word sacrifice to describe my life. It sounds like I'm demanding returns for my investments. I chose to walk on this journey, because I solely believed in it and wholeheartedly decided to do so, and I'm willing and able to pay for the consequences...
If I were the blushing kind, I would blush to be called a hero.
american-author people sure tailored whatever
Whatever help we may want from the international community now or in the future, we want to make sure that this help is tailored to help our people to help themselves.
american-author country might saw
I saw many aspects of the country which I needed to see in order that I might know what we need to do.
grudge toward
I am prepared to talk with anyone. I have no personal grudge toward anybody.
burma good saying
It could achieve a lot if everyone in Burma could stop saying something is good if it is not good, or say something is just if it is not just.
beings benefit faces given human redeem regime regimes
Regime is made up of people, so I do put faces to regimes and governments, so I feel that all human beings have the right to be given the benefit of the doubt, and they also have to be given the right to try to redeem themselves if they so wish.
