It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.

Spanking Jack was so comely, so pleasant, so jolly,
Though winds blew great guns, still he ’d whistle and sing;
Jack loved his friend, and was true to his Molly,
And if honour gives greatness, was great as a king.

The stoic husband was the glorious thing.
The man had courage, was a sage, 'tis true,
And lov'd his country.

A most excellent person he is, and must be allowed a little for a little conceitedness; but he may well be so, being a man so much above others.

I’m told, I’m like my father, and he was the most wonderful man. But I think he was gentler than me.

A man of high principles, he worked for the country long and loyally, adding lustre to our traditions of tolerance and selfless service. A devout Muslim, he personified compassion and humanity which are the core of all religions and was thus an illustrious symbol of our secularism.
He labored with utter devotion for the uplift of his state and soon his field of work expanded to embrace the entire country.
He dealt with every issue with patience, calm and a sense of fairplay. In many delicate international missions which he undertook on behalf of the Government, his earnestness and dignity enhanced India’s prestige.

"Namaste, O flea-ridden tree-climber," Shesha replied, with a fond glint in his eyes. "May your life be as long as you insolence is great."

Lord Ram is the manifestation of the best human qualities. He is the core of humanity embedded in the depths of our minds. Lord Ram is love and he can never appear in hatred. Lord Ram is mercy and he can never appear in cruelty. Lord Ram is justice and he can never appear in unjustice.

Gulliver describes a royal personage inspiring awe among the tiny Lilliputians because he was taller than his brethren by the breadth of a human fingernail.

Being a man given to oratory and high principles, he enjoyed the sound of his own vocabulary and the warmth of his own virtue. ~ Ch. 6
