Men, money and material cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the motive-power that will inspire us to brave deeds and heroic exploits."

That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.

We should have but one desire today - the desire to die so that India may live - the desire to face a martyr’s death, so that the path to freedom may be paved with the martyr’s blood.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else. 

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.

I am a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less. 

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving. 

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today. 

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

 Really I feel less keen about the Army every day. I think the Church would suit me better.
