Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.

I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.

I think I'm cold, indeed icy, hard. Then there's another reason, one that goes with my frankness: I don't put on act.

We announced that there'd be no more starvation in India. And you responded, 'Impossible. You'll never succeed!' Instead we succeeded; today in India no one dies of hunger any more; food production far exceeds consumption.

There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.

When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.

Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
