Nanabhoy Palkhivala Quotes

“The survival of our democracy and the unity and integrity of the nation depend upon the realisation that constitutional morality is no less essential than constitutional legality. Dharma lives in the hearts of public men; when it dies there, no Constitution, no law, no amendment, can save it.”

Nanabhoy Palkhivala

“India is like a donkey carrying a sack of gold. The donkey does not know what it is carrying but is content to go along with its load on the back.”

Nanabhoy Palkhivala
