Every citizen of India must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain duties.

Work is undoubtedly worship but laughter is life. Anyone who takes life too seriously must prepare himself for a miserable existence. Anyone who greets joy and sorrows with equal facility can really get the best of life.

We have to shed mutual bickering, shed the difference of being high or low, develop a sense of equality and banish untouchability. We have to restore the conditions of Swaraj prevalent prior to British rule and live like children of the same father.

Our consistent effort towards the development of a nation can make the whole country proud all over the world, but the lack of teamwork can surely make us familiar with huge disasters.

By common endeavour we can raise the country to a new greatness, while a lack of unity will expose us to fresh calamities.

A few holes in your character can feel you down, but if you fill those holes with complete dedication, then no one can stop you from achieving the top position.

The negligence of a few could easily send a ship to the bottom, but if it has the wholehearted cooperation of all on board it can be safely brought to part.

It can be simplified easily, if an individual works his heel peak for the freedom of the nation, he might get punished by the Englishmen, but if a group of individuals form a community to fight for freedom, they get success. 

Little pools of water tend to become stagnant and useless, but if they are joined together to form a big lake, the atmosphere is cooled and there is universal benefit.

As a nation, every one of us should have to give priority to our country i.e., India. We just need to forget which religion or caste we are belonging to. Or in which society or state we are living. As an Indian, we need to put our whole efforts in the development of the country.

It is the prime responsibility of every citizen to feel that his country is free and to defend its freedom is his duty. Every Indian should now forget that he is a Rajput, a Sikh or a Jat. He must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain duties.

How beautiful our country is, even after facing many obstacles, whether it was for independence, or with caste or religion, we Indians always make a comeback and fight with each of them with a huge determination.

There is something unique in this soil, which despite many obstacles has always remained the abode of great souls.

A war based on Satyagraha is always of two kinds. One is the war we wage against injustice, and the other we fight our own weaknesses.

Manpower without unity is not a strength unless it is harmonized and united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power.

Take to the path of dharma – the path of truth and justice. Don’t misuse your valour. Remain united. March forward in all humility, but fully awake to the situation you face, demanding your rights and firmness.

My only desire is that India should be a good producer and no one should be hungry, shedding tears for food in the Country.

Blood and tears are going to be our lot, whether we like them or not. Our blood and tears will flow; may be the parched soil of India needs them so that the fine flower of freedom may grow again.

If any person raises his hand to strike down another on the ground of religion, I shall fight him till the last breath of my life, both as the head of the government and from the outside

The ambition of the greatest men of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over.

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say.

The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

A theory must be tempered with reality.

The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; The way you play it is free will.

Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

There is no end to the adventure that we can have if only we seek them with your eyes open.

All the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible, so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.

Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
