Life is a difficult game.

You can win it only

by retaining your birthright

to be a person.

I was willing to accept

what I couldn't change.

Great dreams of great dreamers

are always transcended.

If a country is to be

corruption free and become

a nation of beautiful minds,

I strongly feel there are

three key societal members

who can make a difference.

They are the father,

the mother and the teacher.

We should not give up

We should not allow

the problem to defeat us.

Why are we,

as a nation so obsessed

with foreign things?

Is it a legacy of

our colonial years?

We want foreign television sets.

We want foreign shirts.

We want foreign technology.

Why this obsession with

everything imported?

I firmly believe that

unless one has tasted

the bitter pill of failure,

one cannot aspire

enough for success.

A teacher should have a

creative mind.

Unless India stands up

to the world,

no one will respect us.

In this world,

fear has no place.

Only strength respects strength.

When you look at the light bulb

above you, you remember

Thomas Alva Edison.

When the telephone bell rings,

you remember

Alexander Graham Bell.

Marie Curie was the first

woman to win the Nobel Prize.

When you see the blue sky,

you think of Sir C.V. Raman.

You see, God helps only

people who work hard.

That principle is very clear.

Where there is

righteousness in the heart,

there is harmony in the house;

when there is

harmony in the house,

there is order in the nation;

when there is

order in the nation,

there is peace in the world.

In India we only read about

death,

sickness,

terrorism,

crime.

अपने मिशन में सफल होने के लिए,

आपको अपने लक्ष्य के प्रति

पूरी तरह समर्पित होना चाहिए।

To succeed in your mission,

you must have single

minded

devotion to your goal.

Science is a beautiful

gift to humanity;

we should not distort it.
