Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. Only through the right education can a better order of society be built up.
The vast army of children across the world, outwardly different kinds of clothes, and yet so very like another. If you bring them together, they play or quarrel, but even their quarrel is some kind of play. They do not think of differences amongst themselves, differences of class or caste, or colour or status. They are wiser than their father(s) or mother(s).
A university stands for humanism, for tolerance, for reason, for the adventure of ideas and for the search for truth.
It is a fundamental rule of human life, that if the approach is good, the response is good.
Children do not think of differences amongst themselves.
The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare.

Happy Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Anniversary 2024 Quotes
“Evil unchecked grows, evil tolerated poisons the whole system.”
“India has known the innocence and insouciance of childhood, the passion and abandon of youth, and the ripe wisdom of maturity that comes from long experience of pain and pleasure; and over and over a gain she has renewed her childhood and youth and age.”
“The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.”
“Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.”
“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.”
“It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn, we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.”
“What the mysterious is I do not know. I do not call it God because God has come to mean much that I do not believe in. I find myself incapable of thinking of a deity or of any unknown supreme power in anthropomorphic terms, and the fact that many people think so is continually a source of surprise to me. Any idea of a personal God seems very odd to me.”
