To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.
Abdul Kalam

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

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.
Abdul Kalam

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!
Abdul Kalam

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
Abdul Kalam

We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.
Abdul Kalam

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?
Abdul Kalam

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.
