I shall strive for a Constitution which will release India from all thralldom and potronage and give her, if need be, the right to sin.

I shall work for an India in which the poorest shall feel that it is their country, in whose working they have an effective voice; an India in which there will be no high class and low class people; an India in which all communities shall live in harmony.

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, Where knowledge is free, Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls, Where words come out from the depth of truth, Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection, Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit, Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action, Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

From ‘Geetanjali’ - collection of poems by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore - India 1861-1941

“A leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For, the difficulty is not in organization and making plans, the test, the real test of a leader lies in holding widely different people together, along the line of their common sympathies. And this can be done only unconsciously, never by trying.” [Swami Vivekananda – India 1863-1902]

"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." [Plato, Greece - 427-347 BC]

"Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed." [George Burns - 1896-1996]

"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. " [Albert Einstein - 1879-1955]

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. " [Sir Winston Churchill - 1874-1965]

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. " [Thomas Jefferson -1743-1826]

"Some cause happiness wherever they go;others, whenever they go." [ Oscar Wild - 1854-1900]

“A society where the chap who cuts corners is the one who gets rich, and the man who studies and work hard is the chap who remains poor, will fail.’

“I am very determined. If I decide that something is worth doing, then I will put my heart and soul to it. The whole ground can be against me, but if I know it is right, I will do it. This is the business of a leader.” [Lee Kuan Yew – Founder Prime Minister of Singapore]

“There is no end to the learning of Ayurveda. Hence you should carefully and constantly devote yourself to it. You should increase your skill by learning from others without any jealousy. The wise regard the whole world as their teacher, whereas the ignorant consider it to be their enemy.” – From ‘Charakasamhita’, one of the two most important and almost fully available, oldest fundamental works on Ayurveda. It is based on the teachings of Sage Athreya, initially written by Agnivesa around 800BC, one of his six disciples, and rewritten by sage Charaka, around 200BC

“He who regards kindness to humanity as the supreme religion and treats his patients accordingly, succeeds best in achieving the aims of life and obtains the greatest happiness.” - From ‘Sushrutasamhita’, the second of the two most important and almost fully available, oldest fundamental works on Ayurveda. It is believed to be the teachings of sage Dhanvanthari, initially written by Sage Sushruta 800BC, one of his seven disciples. This is rewritten, around 200 AD.

Gautham Buddha’s was the right path, right speech, right thought and right conduct. He gave us the undulterated law of human family. His love, his boundless love, went out as much to the lower animals, to the lowest life, as to the human beings. And he insisted upon purity of life.

It is an arrogant assumption to say that human beings are lords and masters of the lower creation. On the contrary, being endowed with greater things in life, they are trustees of the lower animal kingdom. And the great sage lived in that truth in his own life.
