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

As our country bled . . . its leader's wife came to this podium piously to call for a new human order, this when thousands of Filipinos were political prisoners.

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

I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.

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

The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

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

The government cannot do everything all at once. It can't wave a magic wand and meet everyone's demands simultaneously.

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

One must be frank to be relevant.

The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.

Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.

I know there isn't anything I can do that will please everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.

It's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

I believe that during these times, we should not forget that many sacrificed to regain our democracy.

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

I am not an icon of democracy. You are all, collectively, the icon of democracy.

There is much that women can bring into politics that would make our world a kinder, gentler place for humanity to thrive in.

Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie.
