“Never. Till my last breath I will work. To retire there is only one place- the cremation ground.”

Keep your morale high, in spite of setbacks. At the end you are bound to succeed.

We can’t change our rulers, but we can least teach them how to rule us.

We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best – not only the best in India, but globally.

A motivated manpower is the most important thing.

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.

True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.

My commitment is to produce at the cheapest price and the best quality.

You do not require an invitation to make profits.

There is no difference between our methods and those of anybody else-the only difference is that our motivation and dedication he is much greater.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.

Does making money excite me? No, but I have to make money for my shareholders. What excites me is achievement, doing something difficult.

My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

You have to take the calculated risk, to earn something.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath so what does that make today worth?

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.

Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again; but if once cracked can never be repaired.

Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; it is the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all Science.

The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.

What one does in one’s art, that is the breath of one’s being. What one does in one’s life, that is a bagatelle for the outsiders to fuss about.

I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.

Success is my breathing space. I brought it on myself. I will price it, I will cash it, I can take it or leave it. Loneliness is my hiding place, breastfeeding myself. What more can I say? I have swallowed the bitter pill, I can taste it. Life is real.
