"Here is not merely a nation but..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.”

“Out of every fruition of success, no matter what, comes forth something to make a new effort necessary.”

“I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.”

“I have been happy . . . in believing that . . . whatever follies we may be led into as to foreign nations, we shall never give up our Union, the last anchor of our hope, and that alone which is to prevent this heavenly country from becoming an arena of gladiators.”

“Nothing will demoralize the nation so much as that we should learn to despise labour.”

“Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny. To a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness.”

“No two persons have the same mind or the same body.”

“When I meet a new person, I don’t see race or religion. I look deeper. We must learn to satisfy our conflicts peacefully and to respect one another.”

“Unity among the different races and the different religions of India is indispensable to the birth of national life.”
