• If Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed.

ಜವಾಹರಲಾಲ್ ನೆಹರು

• A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.

• A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new; when an age ends; and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.

• A theory must be tempered with reality.

• Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.

• Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.

• Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

• Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.

• Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.

• Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.

• Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse.

• Every little thing counts in a crisis.

• Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.

• Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.

• Great causes and little men go ill together.

• I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.

• Ignorance is always afraid of change.

• It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say.

• It is the habit of every aggressor nation to claim that it is acting on the defensive.

• Let us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.

• Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

• Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit.

• Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage.

• Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.

• Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.

• Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.

• The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds.

• The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

• The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.

• The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.

• The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.

• The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.

• The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.

• The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.

• There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.

• Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.

• To be in good moral condition requires at least as much training as to be in good physical condition.

• We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

• What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.

• Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.

• You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.

ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿವೇಕಾನಂದ

• All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
  
  
  All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
  
  
  As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.
  
  
  Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
  
  
  External nature is only internal nature writ large.
  
  
  GOD is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
  
  
  If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
  
  
  If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
  
  
  In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
  
  
  Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
  
  
  Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
  
  
  Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
  
  
  That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
  
  
  The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
  
  
  The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
  
  
  The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.
  
  
  The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
  
  
  The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
  
  
  Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
  
  
  We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
  
  
  
• When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.

• Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.

• You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

• You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

ಅಟಲ್ ಬಿಹಾರಿ ವಾಜಪೇಯಿ

• Global interdependence today means that economic disasters in developing countries could create a backlash on developed countries.

• In the euphoria after the Cold War, there was a misplaced notion that the UN could solve every problem anywhere.

• No state should be allowed to profess partnership with the global coalition against terror, while continuing to aid, abet and sponsor terrorism.

• Our nuclear weapons are meant purely as a deterrent against nuclear adventure by an adversary.

• People who ask us when we will hold talks with Pakistan are perhaps not aware that over the last 55 years, every initiative for a dialogue with Pakistan has invariably come from India.

• Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education, health care, political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation.

• The Bio-diversity Convention has not yielded any tangible benefits to the world's poor.

• The overwhelming public sentiment in India was that no meaningful dialogue can be held with Pakistan until it abandons the use of terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy.

• The reality is that international institutions like the UN can only be as effective as its members allow it to be.

• The UN's unique legitimacy flows from a universal perception that it pursues a larger purpose than the interests of one country or a small group of countries.

• There was an implicit conviction that the UN would be stronger than the sum of its constituent member-states.

• We believe that the United States and the rest of the international community can play a useful role by exerting influence on Pakistan to put a permanent and visible end to cross-border terrorism against India.

• We hope the world will act in the spirit of enlightened self-interest.

• You can change friends but not neighbours.
  

ಮಹಾತ್ಮಾ ಗಾಂಧಿ

• 
  

• A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

• A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

• A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

• A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

• A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

• A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.

• A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.

• A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

• A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

• A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.

• A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

• Action expresses priorities.

• Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.

• All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.

• All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

• Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

• Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

• An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

• An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

• An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

• An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.

• Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

• Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

• Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.

• As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

• Be the change that you want to see in the world.

• Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

• But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

• Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.

• Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion.

• Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.

• Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

• Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.

• Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

• Each one prays to God according to his own light.

• Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

• Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

• Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.

• Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

• Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.

• Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

• Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

• First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

• For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

• Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

• Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.

• Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

• Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

• God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

• God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

• God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

• Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

• Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.

• Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

• I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

• I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

• I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

• I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

• I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

• I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

• I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

• I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

• I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.

• I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

• I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.

• I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace.

• I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

• I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

• I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

• I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

• I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.

• I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.

• I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.

• If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty.

• If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

• If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

• If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

• Imitation is the sincerest flattery.

• In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

• In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

• In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

• Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.

• Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.

• Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.

• Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

• Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

• Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

• It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

• It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one's belly, in order to be able to save one's head.

• It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

• It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.

• It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

• It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.

• It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.

• It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

• Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.

• Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

• Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.

• Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

• Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

• Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.

• Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

• Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

• Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.

• Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.

• Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been know to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.

• Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.

• Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

• Morality is contraband in war.

• Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

• Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts.

• My life is my message.

• My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

• Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.

• No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive.

• Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

• Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

• Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

• Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

• Non-violence is the article of faith.

• Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

• Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.

• Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

• Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

• One's own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one's Maker and no one else's.

• Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

• Peace is its own reward.

• Poverty is the worst form of violence.

• Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.

• Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.

• Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

• Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

• Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

• Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.

• Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.

• Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.

• Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

• Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.

• Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.

• Self-respect knows no considerations.

• Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.

• Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

• Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

• That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.

• The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

• The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

• The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

• The good man is the friend of all living things.

• The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

• The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.

• The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.

• The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

• The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted.

• The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.

• The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.

• The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.

• The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

• The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

• There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

• There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.

• There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

• There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.

• There is more to life than increasing its speed.

• There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

• There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

• Those who know how to think need no teachers.

• Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

• Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

• To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

• To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.

• To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

• Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

• Truth never damages a cause that is just.

• Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

• Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

• Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

• Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.

• We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.

• We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?

• We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.

• We must become the change we want to see in the world.

• We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

• We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

• What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

• What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.

• What is true of the individual will be to-morrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

• Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.

• When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

• When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.

• Where love is, there God is also.

• Where there is love there is life.

• You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

• You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

• You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

• You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

• 640K ought to be enough for anybody.

• As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

• At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - I'm afraid that's not quite right.

• Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

• DOS is ugly and interferes with users' experience.

• I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away.

• I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.

• I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

• I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.

• I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.

• I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.

• If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000 MPG.

• If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?

• If you can't make it good, at least make it look good.

• If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

• In this business, by the time you realize you're in trouble, it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time, you're gone.

• Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.

• Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.

• It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

• Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

• Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

• Life is not fair; get used to it.

• Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.

• Microsoft is not about greed. It's about innovation and fairness.

• People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

• People everywhere love Windows.

• Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back.

• Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

• Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

• Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

• Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

• The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

• The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.

• The U.S. couldn't even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They'll be killing each other again in less than a year. I'm sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.

• There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft.

• This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

• Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do.

• We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.

• We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.

• We've got to put a lot of money into changing behavior.

• When the PC was launched, people knew it was important.

• When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.

• Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.

• Windows 2000 already contains features such as the human discipline component, where the PC can send an electric shock through the keyboard if the human does something that does not please Windows.

• You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way.

• Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
