Science is global. Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

It's when children are 15, 16 or 17 that they decide whether they want to be a doctor, an engineer, a politician or go to the Mars or moon. That is the time they start having a dream, and that's the time you can work on them. You can help them shape their dreams.

Small aim is a crime; have great aim.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

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.

Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.

Regarding marriage, it - somehow, it didn't happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

A teacher should have a creative mind.

The President's post should not be politicised. Once a president is elected, he is above politics.

My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

The bird is powered by its own life and by its motivation.

Wherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it's Shillong, it's northeastern.

You will never win if you never begin.

A Bachelor of Arts is one who makes love to a lot of women, and yet has the art to remain a bachelor.

Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man.

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her.

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.

Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.

It isn't tying himself to one woman that a man dreads when he thinks of marrying; it's separating himself from all the others.

A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted.

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.
