You are the makers of your own fortunes. You make yourselves suffer, you make good and evil, and it is you who put your hands before your eyes and say it is dark. Take your hands away and see the light.

We came to enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into every detail of our life.

A brave, frank, clean-hearted, courageous and aspiring youth is the only foundation on which the future nation can be built.

The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
