Let us achieve great things for those who granted us the privilege to serve.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.

Our destiny is largely in our hands.

Those who have a service to their country have a high vocation.

I do not know our destinies, but one thing I know, the only ones among you who will be happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

We are in a new era. The Almighty has destined us to serve this country and helped to succeed in our Revolution, which aimed at destroying injustice and tyranny, from which we suffered for many long years.

The lives of such are most desirable, and the deaths of such will be most lamented, who make it their business to serve their generation.

The destiny of India is the destiny of the masses of the vast population that inhabit this country, and every citizen has a meaningful role in shaping that destiny. There is a sacred duty cast on all of us – not written down in laws, but which is inherent – that we stand by this commitment.

“Our destinies, that is mine and that of the nation, are inextricably linked.

We are blessed with a great people, people who at every critical moment of choosing have put the interests of the country above their own.

The highest service demands the greatest sacrifice, but it secures the fullest blessing and the greatest fruitfulness.

Fate and destiny are close woven within us and near them can be found the true genius of our lives.
