bhagat singh quotes, 23 march bhagat singh, Shaheed Bhagat Singh quotes

Bhagat Singh was an Indian freedom fighter, considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. For this reason, he is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh .

-----------------------------------------

“If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free."”

-----------------------------------------

Let me announced with all the strength at my command, that I am not a terrorist and I never was, expected perhaps in the beginning of my revolutionary career. And I am convinced that we cannot gain anything through those methods. One can easily judge it from the history of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. All our activities were directed towards an aim, i.e., identifying ourselves with the great movement as its military wing. If anybody has misunderstood me, let him amend his ideas. I do not mean that bombs and pistols are useless, rather the contrary. But I mean to say that mere bomb-throwing is not only useless but sometimes harmful. The military department of the party should always keep ready all the war-material it can command for any emergency. It should back the political work of the party. It cannot and should not work independently.

-----------------------------------------

We humbly claim to be no more than serious students of the history and conditions of our country and her aspirations. We despise hypocrisy.



Man acts only when he is sure of the justness of his action, as we threw the bomb in the Legislative Assembly.

-----------------------------------------

We wanted to point out that according to the verdict of your court we had waged war and we're therefore war prisoners. And we claim to be treated as such, i.e., we claim to be shot dead instead of to be hanged. It rests with you to prove that you really meant what your court has said.We request and hope that you will very kindly order the military department to send its detachment to perform our execution.

-----------------------------------------

Do you mean to imply that had we not entered the field, no revolutionary work would have taken place at all? If this be your contention, then you are mistaken, though it is right that we also proved helpful to an extent in changing the environment. But, then, we are only a product of the need of our times.

-----------------------------------------

I emphasise that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need, and that is the real sacrifice.

-----------------------------------------

...by crushing individuals, they cannot kill ideas.

-----------------------------------------

What hope should I entertain? I know that will be the end when the rope is tightened round my neck and the rafters move from under my feet. To use more precise religious terminology, that will be the moment of utter annihilation. My soul will come to nothing. If I take the courage to take the matter in the light of ?Reward?, I see that a short life of struggle with no such magnificent end shall itself be my ?Reward.? That is all. Without any selfish motive of getting any reward here or in the hereafter, quite disinterestedly have I devoted my life to the cause of freedom. I could not act otherwise.

-----------------------------------------

We become pitiable and ridiculous when we imbibe an unreasoned mysticism in our life without any natural or substantial basis. People like us, who are proud to be revolutionary in every sense, should always be prepared to bear all the difficulties, anxieties, pain and suffering which we invite upon ourselves by the struggles initiated by us and for which we call ourselves revolutionary.

-----------------------------------------

Love always elevates the character of man. It never lowers him, provided love be love.

-----------------------------------------

The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots haven't got the joke yet. ~Oliver Herford

HAPPINESS QUOTES


















I am just a person who is human, down to earth enjoying life.. whatever god blesses you with. Enjoying life for me is just normal.

One dollar for eternal happiness? I'd be happier with the dollar.

My pro-life position is I believe there's life. It's not necessarily based in religion. I think there's a life there, therefore the notion of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

A business is successful to the extent that it provides a product or service that contributes to happiness in all of its forms.

Since the purpose of business is to satisfy existing desires, or stimulate new ones, if everyone were genuinely happy, there would be no need for business any longer.

If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination.

People who grow rich almost always improve their sex life. More people want to have sex with them. That’s just the way human beings work. Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac. Money did not make me happy. But it definitely improved my sex life.

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.

Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn't got money.

You've got to love what you do to really make things happen.

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake.

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness.. it is generally the by-product of other activities.

I'm going to miss Blockbuster. I'm gonna miss being CEO and all that stuff. We had an atmosphere where everybody was happy. When people make money, they're happy.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.

I just lucked into things. I used to think that if I made $50,000 I'd be the happiest guy in the world.

A smile is something you can't give away; it always comes back to you. ~


A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~


It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart. ~

I found again in the heart of a friend."

laugh and cry together, and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.
