“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

“चलते-चलते गवर्नर साहब बड़े राय से बोले— “इनसे कहिए, आपकी मिसाल नज़रों के सामने रखें। दरख़्त जब तक रहता है तभी तक उसका साया मिलता है—अपनी वज़हदारी से जो साया बनता है वह हमेशा साथ देता है...” धीरे-से कहते हुए निकल गये “ईमानदारी और वज़हदारी आदमी के लिए ज़रूरी चीज़ें हैं।” मझले राय सन्न रह गये थे। और किसी ने सुना हो या न सुना हो लेकिन उन्होंने सुन लिया था। बड़े राय उसी जगह स्थिर खड़े थे। जब तक गवर्नर साहब चले नहीं गये, वे उसी तरह बेंत-से टिके खड़े रहे।”

“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“Do you know what the worst thing about being a parent is? That you're always judged by your worst moments. You can do a million things right, but if you do one single thing wrong you're forever that parent who was checking his phone in the park when your child was hit in the head by a swing. We don't take our eyes off them for days at a time, but then you read just one text message and it's as if all your best moments never happened. No one goes to see a psychologist to talk about all the times they weren't hit in the head by a swing as a child. Parents are defined by their mistakes.”
