“Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.”

As I always say, I do not wish you an easy time, but I wish you that whatever difficulty you may have, you will overcome it.

People with clenched fists can not shake hands.

When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.

I am proud that I spent the whole of my life in the service of my people I shall continue to serve until my last breath and when I die, I can say, that every drop of my blood will invigorate India and strengthen it.

How can anybody who is the head of a nation afford not to be a prag-matist?

The question before the advanced nations is not whether they can afford to help the developing nations, but whether they can afford not to do so.

I don’t see the world as something divided between right and left.

There are only moments of happiness – from contentment to ecstacy.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.

We would rather starve than sell our national honor.

I think one should do what seems right. And if what seems right involves danger well, one must risk the danger.

The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn’t mean I’m indoctrinated.

Difficulties can’t be eliminated from life. Individuals will always have them, countries will always have them. The only thing is to accept them, if possible overcome them, otherwise to come to terms with them. It’s all right to fight, yes, but only when it’s possible.

For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.

Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Faith is trust or commitment to what you think is true.

I don’t need to see how, I just need to know you.

I always have faith that something’s going to happen good for you, and it going to happen.

May today be the day you step out in faith into this unknown, knowing you are never alone. For he promised to never leave you.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

Not the one who knows the most, but the one who loves faithfully and consistently the most, is a true follower of Jesus.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.
