The nation's morals are like its teeth: the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them.

I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.

Don't pretend to be a candle, be a moth. Know the power hidden in serving. We seem to have got stuck with external forms of politics and mistaking them to be nation-building. It is the sacrifices, toil and valour that and seldom shown or seen that truly makes a nation.

My 2020 Vision for India is to transform it into a developed nation. That cannot be abstract; it is a lifeline.

A nation with a strong base in science and technology is a nation with a strong backbone.

In a democracy, the well-being, individuality and happiness of every citizen is important for the overall prosperity, peace and happiness of the nation.
