The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit.
—Bhagat Singh
Love always elevates the character of man. It never lowers him, provided love be love.
—Bhagat Singh
Bombs and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting-stone of ideas.
—Bhagat Singh
It is beyond the power of any man to make a revolution. Neither can it be brought about on any appointed date. It is brought about by special environments, social and economic. The function of an organised party is to utilise any such opportunity offered by these circumstances.
—Bhagat Singh
Any man who stands for progress has to criticize, disbelieve and challenge every item of the old faith. His reasoning can be mistaken, wrong, misled and sometimes fallacious. But he is liable to correction because reason is the guiding star of his life. But mere faith and blind faith is dangerous: it dulls the brain, and makes a man reactionary.
—Bhagat Singh
