Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

I believe that, young or old, we have as much to look forward to with confidence and hope as we have to look back on with pride.

Gratitude, respect and pride, these words sum up how I feel about the people of this country and the Commonwealth.

A man given to pride is usually proud of the wrong thing.

We live in a highly competitive world - and we Indians have to struggle to catch up. So modesty is necessary, even if there is also a need for a certain amount of national pride. When it comes down to it, we have managed our country's economy poorly for long enough. There is really no reason to now think that we can conquer the world.

The launch of PSLV-C23 fills every Indian's heart with pride and I can see the joy and satisfaction on your faces. Feel privileged to watch this in person.
