“We do not belong to the past dawns, but to the noons of the future.”

"It is by being sincere, courageous, enduring and honest that you can best serve your country, make it one and great in the world."

"A rebirth of the soul of India into a new body of energy, a new form of its innate and ancient spirit,…must insist much more finally and integrally than it has as yet done on its spiritual turn, on the greater and greater action of the spiritual motive in every sphere of our living."

"Let the splendour of Bharat’s past be reborn in the realisation of her imminent future with the help and blessings of her living soul."
