1. 絕對之和平
「絕對之和平在人世間是難以企及的，但這並不妨我們朝此目標進發。如同沙漠之客旅定睛於啟明之晨星，我們亦當定睛於斯。即便我們難以求得人間的絕對和平，但我們為此而付出的努力將會使得人與人之間、國與國之間互信互愛，進而讓我們這個地球村變得更加平安與友善。」（"Absolute peace in our world is an unattainable goal. But it is one towards which we must continue to journey, our eyes fixed on it as a traveler in a desert fixes his eyes on the one guiding star that will lead him to salvation. Even if we do not achieve perfect peace on earth, because perfect peace is not of this earth, common endeavors to gain peace will unite individuals and nations in trust and friendship and help to make our human community safer and kinder."）
2. 善惡共存
「夫和平於世，乃歸於一。坤輿萬國，唇齒相依。若夫惡者居上，善者居下，則吾輩皆處險境，無可倖免。然則問曰：除惡務盡，可乎？答曰：不可！蓋因人之天性，有善有惡，善惡共存。然吾輩當小惡毋作，大惡務去，以盡人性之善也。」（The peace of our world is indivisible. As long as negative forces are getting the better of positive forces anywhere, we are all at risk. It may be questioned whether all negative forces could ever be removed. The simple answer is: 「No!」 It is in human nature to contain both the positive and the negative. However, it is also within human capability to work to reinforce the positive and to minimize or neutralize the negative.）
3. 一個良心犯對我們來說已是太多。
「當你們看著我，聆聽我演說時，請不要忘記那個已被重複多次的真理：一個良心犯對我們來說已是太多。」（ As you look at me and listen to me, please remember the often repeated truth that one prisoner of conscience is one too many. ）
4. 戰爭並非槍殺和平的唯一戰場
「戰爭並非槍殺和平的唯一戰場。人們的苦難在哪裡被漠視，哪裡就會埋下鬥爭的種子。因苦難生辱、苦難生怨、苦難生怒。」（War is not the only arena where peace is done to death. Wherever suffering is ignored, there will be the seeds of conflict, for suffering degrades and embitters and enrages.）
5. 善的力量
「每一次我受到善待，無論小善或是大善，都使我相信：世上有再多的善也不會嫌多。為善，是用敏感的心去體察他人的需要，是用溫暖的情去回應他人的期望。若有善在，一個最簡單的動作也能打破一顆沉寂的心靈。善，可以改變我們的生命。」（"Every kindness I received, small or big, convinced me that there could never be enough of it in our world. To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others. Even the briefest touch of kindness can lighten a heavy heart. Kindness can change the lives of people."）
6. 民主乃人權之保障
「若有人問起我，緣何會為緬甸之民主而奮鬥？蓋因我篤信民主之政體與民主之實踐乃人權之保障。」（If I am asked why I am fighting for democracy in Burma, it is because I believe that democratic institutions and practices are necessary for the guarantee of human rights.）
路透：昂山素姬歐洲之行受到巨星般待遇
諾貝爾和平獎得主昂山素姬在她近25年來的首次歐洲之行中，不論走到哪裡，都受到流行巨星般的待遇。
鮮花鋪天蓋地，挪威國王哈拉爾幾乎小跑著迎接她，1.2萬名奧斯陸民眾冒雨迎接她。
挪威居民Brigt Olav Gaasdal表示：「她本可以離開緬甸，本可以放棄，我想來讚美她那令人難以置信的獻身精神。」
Gaasdal週日從鄉下的家中趕了半天的路抵達挪威第二大城市卑爾根，只希望一睹昂山素姬的容姿。
昂山素姬週五抵達挪威，領取1991年獲得的諾貝爾和平獎，以及1990年拉夫托基金會(Rafto Foundation)授予她的人權獎。
她對數以千計的民眾表示：「我們無需立刻看到遙遠的路盡頭，我們只需看到可以抵達那裡的路就好了。」
「對我而言，一步足矣。如果有足夠的亮光使我們能一步步正確地前進，我們將安全和平地實現目標。」
