Life should be great rather than long.

A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.

The question is not whether a community lives or dies, the question is on what plane does it live? There are different modes of survival. But all are not equally honorable.

Life should be great rather than long.

Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.

Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.

Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.
