“The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below”

Every tiny molecule of Ash is in motion with my heat I am such a Lunatic that I am free even in Jail.

The spirit of Revolution should always permeate the soul of humanity, so that the reactionary forces may not accumulate to check its eternal onward march.

Revolution’ does not necessarily involve sanguinary strife nor is there any place in it for individual vendetta. It is not the cult of the bomb and the pistol. By ‘Revolution’ we mean that the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice, must change.

Life is lived on its ownother’s shoulders are used only at the time of funeral.

I am a man and all that affects mankind concerns me.

Lovers, Lunatics and poets are made of same stuff.

In times of great necessity, violence is indispensable.

It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas.

If the deaf are to hear the sound has to be very loud.

Love always elevates the character of man. It never lowers him, provided love be love.

By crushing individuals, they cannot kill ideas.

The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit.

Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking.

They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.

If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free.

For mass struggles, nonviolence is essential.

Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.

As long as white people put people of color, African Americans and Latinos, in the same dispensable bag, and look at our children of color as insignificant and treat women of color as not as deserving of protection as white women, we will never achieve true equality.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

Purpose can never be about achievement; it is much bigger.

Achievement requires more than a vision – it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.

You must raise your aspirations, set higher goals, and make detailed plans to achieve them.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
