There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hope soon to be swept away.

Whether you believe or disbelieve, it is a wicked thing to take away Man's hope.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

I believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow.

The world is seeing India with a ray of hope and our diaspora can play a crucial role in further spreading it. The Indian community does not settle abroad to enter into politics or take a seat in the global politics. Wherever they go, they think and act towards benefit of the society.

Hope flies on wings, and international conferences plod afterwards dusty roads.
