QUOTES ON SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL

1...He was soft by his heart like a flower but was an iron-man with
.....firm determination.His political statesmanship and wisdom are
.....scarce in building the united and integrated India after
.....Independence.
........................................Chimanbhai Patel

2...A Nation has to have a leader periodically. Today, the Nation
.....looks back to the great example set by SARDAR-a leader that
.....would steer the ship of the country with success and honour.
..................................Babubhai Jashbhai Patel

3...Sardar's greatest contribution to the nation is that he
.....demonstrated in practice the efficacy of the great ideas of his
.....preceptor Mahatma Gandhiji.
..................................Babubhai Jashbhai Patel

4...I consider my good luck that Sardar Patel is with me. I was well
.....aware of his boldness. But I had no chance to stay with Sardar
.....for a long period of 16 months. His love for me reminds (me of)
.....my mother.I was not aware of his motherly love.
........................................Mahatma Gandhiji

5...Sardar actually adopted in his life the first principles of the
.....Ishopanishad. He never expected illegal wealth and never
.....ill-desired.
..............................................Maniben Patel (Daughter)

6...Some great men are remembered more in their life-time and
.....less after death. The greatness of Sardar is in the reverse
.....catagory as he is almost universally acknowledged in our
.....country.
.............................................Morarji Desai

7...The great Emperor Samudragupta was styled"Sarvarajochchheta'-
.....the uprooter of kings.Parshuram, the incarnation of Vishnu, was
.....distinguished for having destroyed kings,but no one knows whether
.....the kings he destroyed prayed for the long life of their destroyer.
.....In the case of Sardar Patel, however,every ruler so uprooted prayed
.....for their destroyer's long life.
.......................................Kanaiyalal Munshi
