41 " King’s Salary It Is inhuman to talk of a million sterling a year, paid out of the public taxes of any country, for the support of an individual, whilst thousands who are forced to contribute thereto, are pining with want and struggling with misery. Govt does not consist in a contract between prisons and palaces,14 between poverty and pomp; it is not instituted to rob the needy of his mite and increase the worthlessness of the wretched. "
― Bhagat Singh , The Jail Notebook And Other Writings
42 " Do you really know the most cursed sin in this world is to be poor? Yes, poverty is a sin; it is a punishment! "

43 " But man's duty is to try and endeavor, success depends upon chance and environments. "

44 " Religion is the outcome of human weakness or the limitation of human knowledge. "
45 " I was a true atheist then and I am an atheist now. It was not an easy task to face that ordeal. Beliefs make it easier to go through hardships, even make them pleasant. Man can find a strong support in God and an encouraging consolation in His Name. If you have no belief in Him, then there is no alternative but to depend upon yourself. It is not child’s play to stand firm on your feet amid storms and strong winds. In difficult times, vanity, if it remains, evaporates and man cannot find the courage to defy beliefs held in common esteem by the people. If he really revolts against such beliefs, we must conclude that it is not sheer vanity; he has some kind of extraordinary strength. This is exactly the situation now. "
46 " You go against popular feelings; you criticise a hero, a great man who is generally believed to be above criticism. What happens? No one will answer your arguments in a rational way; rather you will be considered vainglorious. Its reason is mental insipidity. Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking. As Mahatmaji is great, he is above criticism; as he has risen above, all that he says in the field of politics, religion, Ethics is right. You agree or not, it is binding upon you to take it as truth. This is not constructive thinking. We do not take a leap forward; we go many steps back. "

47 " ஆராய்ச்சித் திறனும் சுயேச்சையாக யோசிக்கும் மனப்பான்மையும் புரட்சிக்காரனின் இன்றியமையாத மிகமிக அவசியமான இரு பெருங்குணங்கள். "
48 " all the capitalist governments are not only not going to help any such effort, but on the contrary, suppress it mercilessly. Then, what will his ‘evolution’ achieve? "
49 " riches and superiority by the help of these theories. Yes: It was perhaps Upton Sinclair that wrote at some place that just make a man a believer in immortality and then rob him of all his riches, and possessions. He shall help you even in that ungrudgingly. "
50 " Ham rukhe tukade khayenge, Bharat par ware jayenge, Hum sukhe chane chabayenge, Bharat ki baat banyenge, Ham nange umar bitayenge, Bharat par jaan mitayenge. "
51 " ...life is really humiliating, why don't you try to improve it by agitating? Perhaps, you will say that this struggle would be futile, but this is precisely the argument which is usually used a cover by weak people to avoid participation in every movement. "
52 " Instead of using the experiments and expressions of the ancient Savants and thinkers as a basis for our future struggle against ignorance and to try to find out a solution to this mysterious problem, we – lethargical as we have proved to be – raise the hue and cry of faith, unflinching and unwavering faith to their versions and thus are guilty of stagnation in human progress.
