“No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.”

What are stumbling blocks and defeat to the weak and vacillating are but stepping stones to victory to the determined soul.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.

Learn From Yesterday, Live for Today, hope for tomorrow.

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

Socialism is the ideal state, but it can never be achieved while man is so selfish.

I will face the challenges of U.P. We will make U.P. an ideal state. People of the state and the Government of India are fully cooperating with me. U.P. will be an example for India.

I believe that if man and woman cherish the same ideals and think alike, then the marriage can be complementary to each other’s work instead of being a hindrance.

The ideal of service and the urge to practice it form the very heart of education.
