New Delhi: The nation is all set to celebrate Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s 125th birth anniversary on Sunday.


The birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is celebrated as Parakram Divas or a day of valour across the country.


The Central government announced the same last year in order to honour and remember Netaji’s indomitable spirit and selfless service to the nation.


Below are some inspirational quotes by the renowned Indian revolutionary, freedom fighter and nationalist leader, whose patriotism made him a luminary in the country:


“Give me blood and I will give you freedom!”


“India is calling Blood is calling to blood. Get up, we have no time to lose. Take up your arms! we shall carve our way through the enemy's ranks, or if God wills, we shall die a martyr's death. And in our last sleep we shall kiss the road that will bring our Army to Delhi. The road to Delhi is the road to Freedom. Chalo Delhi.”


“When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauz has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauz has to be like a steamroller.”


“No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions.”


“We should have but one desire today - the desire to die so that India may live - the desire to face a martyr's death, so that the path to freedom may be paved with the martyr’s blood.”


“The secret of political bargaining is to look more strong than what you really are.”


“It is only on the basis of undiluted Nationalism and of perfect justice and impartiality that the Indian Army of Liberation can be built up.”


“It is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be able to preserve with our own strength.”


“One individual may die for an idea, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.”


“Reality is, after all, too big for our frail understanding to fully comprehend. Nevertheless, we have to build our life on the theory which contains the maximum truth. We cannot sit still because we cannot, or do not, know the Absolute Truth.”
