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

One must be frank to be relevant.

Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.

I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.

National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services.

The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.

It is not I who have been consigned to the bedroom of history.

As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it.

I know my limitations, and I don't like politics. I was only involved because of my husband.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.

Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.
