Constitution Day of India | 26th November
"I feel that the constitution is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peacetime and in wartime. Indeed, if I may say so, if things go wrong under the new Constitution, the reason will not be that we had a bad Constitution. What we will have to say is that Man was vile."

"ज्ञान प्राप्त करो. वह व्यक्ति को सही और गलत में विवेक करने के योग्य बनता है. वह जन्नत के रास्ते को उजाला करता है, वह रेगिस्तान में हमारा दोस्त है, एकाकीपन में हमारा समाज है, मित्रहीन का साथी है, वह हमें ख़ुशियों का रास्ता दिखता है, वह मुसीबतों में हमारी रक्षा करता है, वह दोस्तों के बीच एक भूषण है और दुश्मनों के खिलाफ कवच है."
