Anna Hazare says,
   

Over every huge tree that we see over ground,

there always is a seed that had submerged

itself into the darkness of the soil.

   

Ban on consumption and sale of alcohol lays the foundation of rural development.

   

It is impossible to change the village without

transforming the individual. Similarly

it is impossible to transform the country without changing its villages.

   

If villages are to develop, politics have to be kept out.

   

Education without spirituality cannot help development.

   

Money alone does not bring development, but it certainly corrupts.

   

In the process of rural development, social and economic development should go hand in hand.

   

The work of social transformation is neither easy nor

impossible.

   

The ultimate goal of all politics and social work should be the upliftment of society and of the nation.

   

Books alone cannot prepare future citizens, it requires

cultural inputs to do so.

   

Educational institutions are not enough to make good citizens, every home should become an educational center.

   

Indulgence causes disease whereas sacrifice leads to accomplishment.

   

One should not accept anything free; accepting charity makes one lazy and dependent.

   

When the person learns to see beyond his self-interest, he begins to get mental peace.

   

One who performs all worldly functions and still remains detached from worldly things is a true saint.

   

Salvation of the self is a part of salvation of the people.

   

It is experience that gives the direction but it is youth that gives the drive to every plan.
