Manmohan Singh quote: "Life is never free of contradictions."
Life is never free of contradictions. Manmohan Singh
The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it's a single party government. But I do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I'm confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable. Manmohan Singh
My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time. Manmohan Singh

Let me say that I think the economic history of the last 150 years clearly shows that if you want to industrialize a country in a short period, let us say 20 years, and you don't have a well-developed private sector, entrepreneurial class, then central planning is important. Manmohan Singh
Protectionism is a very real danger. It is understandable that in times of a severe downturn protectionist pressures mount but the lessons of history are clear. If we give in to protectionist pressures, we will only send the world into a downward spiral. Manmohan Singh
Protectionism has to be avoided. Protectionism is not only on goods but also in the area of services. Financial protectionism is also bad and should be avoided. Manmohan Singh
The Indian economy grew at 5.5 percent, but if you look at the last 30 years - for example, 1960 to 1985 - the progress made by East Asian countries was phenomenal. In a single generation they had been able to transform the character of their economy. They were able to get rid of chronic poverty. Manmohan Singh
Together with international unity and resolve we can meet the challenge of this global scourge and work to bring about an international law of zero tolerance for terrorism. Manmohan Singh
We are a mixed economy. We will remain a mixed economy. The public and private sector will continue to play a very important role. The private sector in our country has very ample scope and I am confident that India's entrepreneurs have the capacity, and the will to rise to the occasion. Manmohan Singh
Capitalism historically has been a very dynamic force, and behind that force is technical progress, innovation, new ideas, new products, new technologies, and new methods of managing teams. Manmohan Singh
Manmohan Singh quote: "It is a struggle for the minds of the people... No cause..."
It is a struggle for the minds of the people... No cause justifies recourse to terrorism. Manmohan Singh
We all know the epicentre of terrorism in the world today is Pakistan. The world community has to come to grips with this harsh reality. Manmohan Singh
Manmohan Singh quote: "I can assure you we are a responsible nuclear power."
I can assure you we are a responsible nuclear power. Manmohan Singh
We got government off the backs of the people of India, particularly off the backs of India's entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive. Manmohan Singh
