"I believe that a government has only one religion - India first. A government has only one holy book - our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion - towards nation."

"So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion."

"General benevolence, but not general friendship, made a man what he ought to be."

"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love."

"It's such a happiness when good people get together."

"I should infinitely prefer a book."
