It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship. – Corazon Aquino

I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didnt have children, it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong, you still need people who would support you all the way. – Corazon Aquino
Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things – with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope. – Corazon Aquino
