The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.

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.

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

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.

It's easier to stay in shape than to fluctuate.
