Malala Yousafzai Quotes On Education

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

Malala Yousafzai

Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it’s the right of every human being.

Malala Yousafzai

Extremists have shown what frightens them most: a girl with a book.

Malala Yousafzai

But then I said, ‘If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’

Malala Yousafzai

Education is our basic right. Not just in the West; Islam too has given us this right. Islam says every girl and every boy should go to school. In the Quran it is written, God wants us to have knowledge. He wants us to know why the sky is blue and about oceans and stars. I know it’s a big struggle—around the world there are fifty-seven million children who are not in primary school, thirty-two million of them girls.

Malala Yousafzai

I don’t want to be thought of as the ‘girl who was shot by the Taliban’ but the ‘girl who fought for education.’ This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.

Malala Yousafzai

I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, ‘If he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I would reply to myself, ‘Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.’

Malala Yousafzai

I think everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. The important thing is what you learn from it.

Malala Yousafzai

Kindness can only be repaid with kindness. It can’t be repaid with expressions like ‘thank you’.

Malala Yousafzai

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

Malala Yousafzai

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.

Malala Yousafzai

The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they couldn’t stop our minds from thinking.

Malala Yousafzai

Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well.’ And I will tell him, ‘That’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want.

Malala Yousafzai

To me, the moral of the story was that there will always be hurdles in life, but if you want to achieve a goal, you must continue.

Malala Yousafzai

When someone takes away your pens you realize quite how important education is.

Courage Quotes by Malala Yousafzai

Don’t be afraid—if you are afraid you can’t move forward.

Malala Yousafzai

If people were silent nothing would change.

Malala Yousafzai

They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed. And out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.

Malala Yousafzai

We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage.

Malala Yousafzai

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

Quotes on Politics by Malala Yousafzai

Women’s Rights and Empowerment Quotes of Malala Yousafzai

If one man can destroy everything, why can’t one girl change it?

Malala Yousafzai

I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not. It is the story of many girls.

Malala Yousafzai

In Pakistan when women say they want independence, people think this means we don’t want to obey our fathers, brothers or husbands. But it does not mean that. It means we want to make decisions for ourselves. We want to be free to go to school or to go to work. Nowhere is it written in the Quran that a woman should be dependent on a man. The word has not come down from the heavens to tell us that every woman should listen to a man.

Malala Yousafzai

No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a third power stronger than both, that of women.

Popular Quotes of Malala Yousafzai

I raise up my voice — not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard… We cannot succeed when half of us are held back.

Malala Yousafzai

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.

Malala Yousafzai

Our men think earning money and ordering around others is where power lies. They don’t think power is in the hands of the woman who takes care of everyone all day long, and gives birth to their children.

Malala Yousafzai

Though we loved school, we hadn’t realized how important education was until the Taliban tried to stop us. Going to school, reading and doing our homework wasn’t just a way of passing time, it was our future.

Malala Yousafzai

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.

Malala Yousafzai

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

Malala Yousafzai

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.
