Abdul Kalam
  • God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

  • Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.

  • Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

  • Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

  • Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
