Every Generation Needs Caretakers: The Gospel of Patriotism Quotes

“No messiah is coming to save us or our world, it is us who have to save ourselves as well as our world. We are our own responsibility - our world is our responsibility - our people are our responsibility. And anybody who takes the responsibility of their society on their shoulder, is a patriot - such a person is the real Christ, real Buddha, real Naskar of their time.”

“My body is a temple and each cell in it holds the image of my God - my humankind. Whatever I do I do for my God - whatever I create I create to serve my God - whatever I discover I discover to aid my God. My work is my offering to my God - my life is my offering to my God, for I have nothing grander to offer than my life.”

“Intellectuals and celebrities may cry, peace, peace – harmony, harmony – progress, progress, but no peace, progress and harmony can manifest outside the pages of books, unless the individual stands tall with the head held high and utters with utmost grace and glory to others - give me your agony and I will give you my life.”

“If No One Comes, Walk Alone (A Sonnet) If no one comes hearing your call - walk alone, For the price of rigidity is greater than the cost of a fall. If no one comes hearing your call - speak alone, For the price of silence is greater than the cost of a scorn. If no one comes hearing your call - reason alone, For the price of prejudice is greater than the cost of loneliness. If no one comes hearing your call - think alone, For the price of bigotry is greater than the cost of feeling groundless. If no one comes hearing your call - dream alone, For the price of conformity is greater than the cost of failure. If no one comes hearing your call - act alone, For the price of inaction is greater than the cost of alleged misdemeanor. If no one comes hearing your call, o brave titan - carry the society on your own, For peace, progress and harmony are caused by the acts of the one alone.”
