I never believed in the danger of a third world war.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.

I know I'll astonish everyone by talking like this, but it's God's truth. Honors have never tempted me and I've never sought them.

Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.

It's a law of life - check it and you'll see it holds true in every situation of life.

We should not mourn for men of high ideals. Rather we should rejoice that we had the privilege of having had them with us, to inspire us by their radiant personalities.
