“Dignity of labour has to be our national duty; it has to be a part of our nature.”

Celebrate the birth of a girl child by planting 5 trees in your village.

About 800 million people in India are below the age of 35 years. Their aspirations, energy, enterprise and skills will be the force for India’s economic transformation.

I too was naughty as a child & played pranks. The child within us has to be kept alive because that child keeps us alive.

There is new hope among people that this dispensation can fulfill their aspirations.

I am a small man who wants to do big things for small people.

India is a democratic country & anyone can become a PM.

We belong to a tradition where we treat the entire universe as our family. For me, globalisation is the manifestation of nationalisation. There is no contradiction between the two.

Education does not mean knowledge (gyan) only, it also contains a life within it; it is not an arrangement, it is a duty. It is not merely a means of livelihood; it is the precious treasure of the noble tradition of giving, bestowing.

I haven’t done anything wrong that I need to make up for. I am what I am in front of the world.

Hard work never brings fatigue. It brings satisfaction.

Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, but it disappears. It doesn’t matter if someone dies.

I have nothing left, nothing to give you, I have no pride, no dignity, no money, I don’t even know how we’ll make a living, but I promise I’ll love you the rest of your life.

Let’s settle our karmas with stability & dignity, understanding that even if others do wrong to us, they have a reason.

We believe in the dignity of man as an individual, whatever his race, colour or creed, and his right to better, fuller, and richer life.

Nothing but the most exemplary morals can give dignity to a man of small fortune.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

At a time when opportunism is everything, when hope seems lost, when everything boils down to a cynical business deal, we must find the courage to dream. To reclaim romance. The romance of believing in justice, in freedom, and in dignity. For everybody.

Dignity is a matter which concerns only mankind.
