Let's read some of his famous to get motivated & inspired by his thoughts...
~ "Ask the right questions, and nature will open the doors to her secrets."
~ "The essence of science is independent thinking, hard work, and not equipment. When I got my Nobel Prize, I had spent hardly 200 rupees on my equipment."
~ "We have, I think, developed an inferiority complex. I think what is needed in India today is the destruction of that defeatist spirit."
~ "I feel it is unnatural and immoral to try to teach science to children in a foreign language. They will know facts, but they will miss the spirit."
~ "We need a spirit of victory, a spirit that will carry us to our rightful place under the sun, a spirit which can recognize that we, as inheritors of a proud civilization, are entitled to our rightful place on this planet. If that indomitable spirit were to arise, nothing can hold us from achieving our rightful destiny."
~ "Treat me right and you will see the light…Treat me wrong and you will be gone!"
~ "You can't always choose who comes into your life but you can learn what lesson they teach you, success can come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you."
~ "I strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial and government or military pressures."
~ "The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter."
~ "It is generally believed that it is the students who derive benefit by working under the guidance of a professor. In reality, the professor benefits equally by his association with gifted students working under him.
