“A voice silenced is a voice amplified; the dead scream louder than the living.”

“Words are naughty little sprites, each not of much consequence on its own. Strung together, they infuse life in an inert image in our mind metamorphosing it into a thought that can fly and flow, invoke mirth and laughter or hit and hurt.”

“Those who believe in science believe in God too. Those who merely know without believing in what they know spend a lifetime doubting those who believe.”

“Freedom and freedom from hunger need not be mutually exclusive. Revenge and cruelty threaten the former; greed threatens the latter. If the Government of the free, by the free and for the free wants to sustain the free State, it has to go hammer and tongs against the enemies of freedom, whether these are revengeful, cruel and violent mobs or their ideological supporters or the greedy who bleed the free so that the hungry will join the mobs.”

“Each one of us has an individual Sun continuously exploding into a joyous dawn. Tirelessly, it illuminates our inner realm and reminds us that darkness is only a matter of blind belief.”

“I say something when I have something to say. I say nothing when I have nothing to say. It is not often that I have something to say.”

“The true definition of "the best" is that at the given place at a given moment it is better than the rest. Even a shade better makes it the best and all other distinguishing factors, that usually play a determining role, are considered insignificant.”

“Strange are the ways of democracy; everyone disagrees with everyone else and such dissent is considered a good thing. Stranger are the ways of dictators; once they have coerced all their subjects to agree with them, they spread their evil wings across their borders to secure the nod of the rest of the humanity. That is how dictatorships usually end. If a dictator does not aspire to be a world hegemon, he could be forever, limited only by the fact that even dictators are mortal.”

“Sky is simile of a goal that beckons as well as keeps receding as you fly towards it, making it an infinite journey. The Sanskrit word for sky, "aakaasha", is even more expressive, its meaning being space as well. Matter that represents all things worldly can never fill space as all matter is permeable and is always permeated by space. So matter can neither fill, nor fulfill. Contrasted with matter, space is "nothingness" the ancient Indians' concept of God. Yet, it is made of all possible paths, "dik", the Sanskrit word for direction, being used to describe space as constituted of infinite directions. Thus the infinite paths to the infinite goal make us reach where we already are - in infinite space.”

“A middle path is generally a good choice; extremes are to be avoided. To avoid two evils, however, a middle path is dangerous; one will be squeezed from both sides. The other fallacy, and a very common one at that, of a middle-path approach is riding two boats at the same time. All boats chart their own course and these are not going to stay in sync to save you.”

“The much-misused word “obedienceâ€� should have this limited meaning in the dictionary: “obeying norms that prevent the deliberate action of one knowingly causing harm to anotherâ€�. Anything more than that is military obedience that comes from the need of psychologically preparing a soldier to kill and be killed at the command of a superior without being burdened by his social and moral norms. is it any wonder that dictators tend to don military uniforms and append top military titles to their names?”

“To a partisan hammer, every aspect of the 'other' looks like a nail.”

“Measure yourself against the enemy before declaring war; those who fail to hunt the foxes in the neighbourhood should stay clear of the elephants.”

“A stomach, used to being only half filled, becomes complacent; if it starts getting enough, it soon leads to a loud mouth.”
