On Subhash Chandra Bose Jayanti, we bring to you 10 of his most powerful and inspiring quotes.
- It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom. Give me blood and I will give you freedom.
- Freedom is not given - it is taken.
- No real change in history can be achieved by discussions.
- One individual may die for an idea, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.
- Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle-if there are no risks to be taken.
- Men, money and materials cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the motive-power that will inspire us to brave deeds and heroic exploits.
- The secret of political bargaining is to look more strong than what you really are.
- Never lose your faith in the destiny of India. There is no power on Earth which can keep India in bondage. India will be free and, that too, soon.
- Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle-if there are no risks to be taken.
- Forget not that the grossest crime is to compromise with injustice and wrong. Remember the eternal law: You must give, if you want to get.
