129 " கடைப் பிடிக்கிறோம் என்றுதான் அர்த்தம். சூரியனின் பாதையை பின்பற்றி நடப்பவர்கள் என்றும் வைத்துக்கொள்ளலாம். உலக வாழ்வைப் பொறுத்தவரை, தைரியம் நிறைந்தவர்கள்; எதிலும் உறுதியாய் நிற்பவர்கள். உயிரே போனாலும் வாக்குத் தவறமாட்டோம்; வார்த்தை மீறமாட்டோம். சட்டத்தை எப்போதும், எக்காரணம் கொண்டும் மீறமாட்டோம். நியாயமற்று நடப்போரிடத்திலும்கூட நியாயத்தைக் காட்டுவதே எங்கள் பண்பாடு. சூரியனைப் போல், நாங்களும் யாரிடமும் எதையும் பெறுவதில்லை; அளிக்க மட்டுமே செய்வோம். நாங்கள் ஆற்ற வேண்டிய கடமைகள் எங்கள் உயிரிலேயே "

131 " Why would you need flexibility? Because every single person has different dreams and capabilities. The birth son of a warrior could have the talent to be a great businessman. Then society needs to be flexible enough to allow this son to change his vocation from his father’s profession. Flexibility in a society allows change, so that all its members have the space to discover their true selves and grow to their potential. And if every person in a society achieves his true potential, society as a whole also achieves its true potential. "

132 " एखाद्या यशस्वी समाजाला काय हवं असत? हे नीळकंठा, अशा समाजाला स्थैर्य आणि लवचिकता या दोन्ही गोष्टी हव्या असतात. तुम्हाला लवचिकता कशासाठी हवी असते? कारण प्रत्येक व्यक्तीची वेगवेगळी स्वप्नं असतात आणि प्रत्येकाकडे वेगवेगळ्या क्षमता असतात. एखाद्या लढवय्यानं जन्म दिलेल्या त्याच्या स्वतःच्या मुलाकडे कदाचित व्यापारासाठी आवश्यक असलेले गुणधर्म असतील. अशा वेळी आपल्या वडलांचा व्यवसाय सोडून देऊन आपल्या क्षमतेनुसार योग्य व्यवसाय निवडू देण्याचं स्वातंत्र्य त्या मुलाला देण्याएवढा तो समाज लवचीक असला पाहिजे. समाजातील लवचिकतेमुळे बदल घडू शकतो. त्यामुळे समाजातील सर्वच लोकांना आपापल्या अस्तित्वाचा वेध घेता येतो. त्यांनाही मोकळेपणानं श्वास घेण्यास जागा मिळते. आपल्या क्षमतेचा विकास करून घेता येतो. जर समाजातील प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला तिच्या क्षमतेचा योग्य विकास करून घेता आला, तर तो संपूर्ण समाज आपल्या खऱ्या क्षमतेपर्यंत पोहचतो.
