“We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?”
“At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.”
It was Mrs. Campbell, for instance, who, on a celebrated occasion,
threw her companion into a flurry by describing her recent marriage as
"the deep, deep peace of the double-bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise-longue."
