Here are some of her famous quotes, poem:
A country's greatness lies in its undying ideals of love and sacrifice that inspire the mothers of the race.
We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.
When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today, because my right is justice. If you are stronger, you have to help the weaker boy or girl both in play and in the work.
I say it is not your pride that you are a Madrasi, it is not your pride that you a brahmin, it is not your pride that you belong to south India, it is not your pride that you are a Hindu, that it is your pride that you are an Indian.
Shall hope prevail where clamorous hate is rife,
Shall sweet love prosper or high dreams have place
Amid the tumult of reverberant strife
'Twixt ancient creeds, 'twixt race and ancient race,
That mars the grave, glad purposes of life,
Leaving no refuge save thy succoring face?
We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.
A country’s greatness lies in its undying ideals of love and sacrifice that inspire the mothers of the race.
A country’s greatness lies in its undying ideals of love and sacrifice that inspire the mothers of the race.
