Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.

Small aim is a crime; have great aim.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

I was a disadvantaged child from a non educated family, yet I had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
