Do not forget that the armed forces are the servants of the people. You do not make national policy; it is we, the civilians, who decide these issues and it is your duty to carry out these tasks with which you are entrusted.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.

I don't take right decisions, I take decisions and make them right

Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.

I am not going to respect... gray hairs unless there is wisdom beneath them.

You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of democracy, Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.

We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.
