I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.

Task performed by an unintelligent person should not be rated high.

Swans live wherever there is water, and leave the place where water dries up; let not a man act so - and comes and goes as he pleases.

A person or a ruler who executes his plans (of public welfare) after due consideration, the prosperity stands with him for a longer period.

A man or a ruler should always take up a task after thoroughly considering its consequences. Otherwise fate also cannot protect his wealth.

I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Let us fight to free the world!

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!

The cinema is little more than a fad. It's canned drama. What audiences really want to see is flesh and blood on the stage.

By asking the question How can I afford it? your brain is put to work.
