Wisdom & Quotes

• You who demand power!

Do you not know
that even your greatest demonstration of authority can not take away
the dream of the people?
To suddenly lose a dream
just within grasp,
does not destroy
the will of the people,
but drives it deeper into the soul...
- The Dream of a People

• I have given my sweat and my tears,

now take my blood as well, so life can grow.
- I Am a Child of Burma
