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

My sons...I was crazy about my sons and I think I've done a super job in bringing them up.

I don't mind if my life goes in the service of the nation. If I die, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation.

I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.

I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.

The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.

It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
