“We believe in freedom, freedom for the people of each country to follow their destiny without external interference.”

We have to surmount the difficulties that face us and work steadfastly for the happiness and prosperity of our country.

I am not as simple as I look.

Non-alignment will continue to be the fundamental basis of our approach to world problems and our relations with other countries.

There comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the crossroads of history and must choose which way to go.

We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.

We believe in peace in the settlement of all disputes through peaceful means, in the abolition of war, and, more particularly, nuclear war.

India will have to hang down her head in shame if even one person is left who is said in any way to be untouchable.

The unique thing about our country is that we have Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, and people of all other religions. We have temples and mosques, gurdwaras and churches. But we do not bring all this into politics. This is the difference between India and Pakistan.

We must fight for peace bravely as we fought in war.

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.

I had always been feeling uncomfortable in my mind about giving advice to others and not acting upon it myself.

We cannot afford to spend millions and millions over nuclear arms when there is poverty and unemployment all around us.

No doubt we have to have bigger projects, bigger industries, basic industries, but it is a matter of the highest importance that we look to the common man, the weakest element in the society.

There has no doubt to be fundamental research in science, but applied research is equally important for new improvements and changes in our techniques.

It is most regrettable that nuclear energy is being harnessed for making nuclear weapons.

I tremble when I am reminded of the fact that I have to be in charge of this country and Parliament, which had been led by no less a person than Jawaharlal Nehru.

Believe in keep going not fast going.

I’ve long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk.

At the core of all well-founded beliefs lies belief that is unfounded.

In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.

Believe in the rainbow, rather than a wild storm.

Magical, extraterrestrial, marvelous, enchanted, brave, beautiful, miraculous, royalty, a warrior, a deity. You are simply everything you are and choose to believe.

I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me.

To believe in God is to see that life has meaning
