I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.

If I find the constitution being misused, I shall be the first to burn it.

Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.

Religion is for man and not man for religion

A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.
