Corazon Aquino

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

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

“Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.”

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

“It is not I who have been important, but the thousands of people who have stood for freedom, for liberty, and for justice.”

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

“One must be frank to be relevant.”
