No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.

[Urbanization] is the inevitable outcome of the processes of growth and the processes of modernization.

Unity and secularism will be the motto of the government. We can't afford divisive polity in India.

We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area.

India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people.

Capitalism historically has been a very dynamic force, and behind that force is technical progress, innovation, new ideas, new products, new technologies, and new methods of managing teams.

Together with international unity and resolve we can meet the challenge of this global scourge and work to bring about an international law of zero tolerance for terrorism.

No nation, no society, no community can hold its head high and claim to be part of the civilized world if it condones the practice of discriminating against one half of humanity represented by women.

Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the past government.

Life is never free of contradictions

My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time.

Education teaches children to lose interest in what matters most to them.

God is all that exists. Every stone, flower, tree, animal and human being are on a spiritual journey to recognize their true self, their divine essence.

You are not in this life to count up victories and defeats. You are in it to love and be loved. You are loved with your head down. You will be loved whether you finish or not.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.

We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

I sort of got into Westerns... It was a sort of desperation move, really. I had several pictures that didn't go very well, and I just realised that I would have to try something else.

I don't know a lot about the Scots, but I'm aware they have beaten some of the English counties in the NCL and have gone close in other matches.

You need to have time to really hear God.

I would rather have my fate in the hands of 23 representative citizens of the county than in the hands of a politically appointed judge.
