Subhash Chandra Bose
If you wish to solve the fundamental problems of our national life you will have to look miles ahead of our contemporaries.The mass mind is often unable to cut itself off from present day moorings and visualize the future.If you propose remedies to anticipate and counteract favourite evils,it is not improbable that the mass mind will refuse to accept your prescription.On such an occasion you must summon up courage to stand cut alone.One who desires to swim with the tide of popular approval on all occasions may become the hero of the hour-but he cannot live in history.
Swami Vivekananda
This life is short,the vanities of the world are transient,but they alone live who live for others,the rest are more dead than alive.
He is an atheist who does not believe in himself.The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God.The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself.
Well,you consider a man as educated if only he can pass some examinations and deliver good lectures.The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life,which does not bring out strength of character,a spirit of philanthropy and the courage of a lion-is it worth the name?Real education is that which enables one to stand on one’s own legs.The education that you are receiving now in schools and colleges is only making you a race of dyspeptics,you are working like machines merely,and living a jelly-fish existence.
Neither money pays,nor name,nor fame,nor learning;it is Character that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties.
The only God to worship is the human soul in the human body.Of course,all animals are temples too,but man is the highest,the Taj Mahal of temples.If I cannot worship in that,no other temple will be of any advantage.
So long as millions live in hunger and ignorance,I hold every man a traitor who,having been educated at their expense,pays not the least heed to them.
There is nothing so belittling to the human soul,as the acquisition of knowledge for the sake of worldly reward.There is nothing so degrading to a nation,as coming to look upon life as a means to bread-winning.
Mahatma Gandhi
For me patriotism is the same as humanity.I am patriotic because I am human and humane.It is not exclusive.
We eat to live and not live to eat.
George Bernard Shaw
All reasonable men adapt themselves to the world.Only a few unreasonable ones persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves.All progress in the world depends on these unreasonable men and their innovative and often non-conformist actions.
