Time is not measured by the years that pass by, instead by the things you do, feel or accomplish.

It is far better to know our own weaknesses and failures than to point out those of others.

The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.

At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.

If I was asked what is the greatest treasure which India possesses and what is her finest heritage, I would answer unhesitatingly that it is the Samskrit language and literature and all that it contains. This is a magnificent inheritance and so long as this endures and influences the life of our people, so long will the basic genius of India continue. If our race forgot the Buddha, the Upanishads and the great epics (Ramayana and Mahabharata), India would cease to be India .

When you imitate the enemy's tactics, you take on his liabilities.

Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.
