You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.
Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty and charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. So many people seem to go about their life's business with their eyes shut. Indeed, they object to other people keeping their eyes open. Unable to play themselves, they dislike the play of others.
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed.
Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.
What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.
Every great revolution, whether it is right or not, we really know has any vital, urgent need to basis. It comes not just from itself.
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.
Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.
