Inspiring Quotes of Abdul Kalam
Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!


The youth need to be enabled to become job generators from job seekers.

Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.
