Any idea of a United India could never have worked and in my judgment it would have led us to terrific disaster.

You will have to make up for the smallness of your size by your courage and selfless devotion to duty, for it is not life that matters, but the courage, fortitude and determination you bring to it.

Religion should not be allowed to come into Politics. Religion is merely a matter between man and God.

My message to you is: build up physical strength not for aggression, not for militarism, but for becoming fighting fit, all your life and all the time in every walk of life of your nation wherever you be and always to be a force for peace, international amity and goodwill.

I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

I have full faith in my people that they will rise to every occasion worthy of our past Islamic history, glory and traditions.

That freedom can never be attained by a nation without suffering and sacrifice has been amply borne out by the recent tragic happenings in this subcontinent.

We are now all Pakistanis – not Baluchis, Pathans, Sindhis, Bengalis, Punjabis and so on – and as Pakistanis, we must feet behave and act, and we should be proud to be known as Pakistanis and nothing else.

Come forward as servants of Islam, organise the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.

A ruined man fell from her hands like a ripe fruit, to lie rotting on the ground.

Men are pigs. Too bad we own everything.

I beseech you to correct one fault – severe speech of others; never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.

A conservative young man has wound up his life before it was unreeled. We expect old men to be conservative but when a nation’s young men are so, its funeral bell is already rung.
