Admiration Quote by Pradip Kumar Das
““We begin but never finish, we make a show but we do nothing concrete, we do not believe what we set out to do, what we believe we do not carry out, we spin out words without end but cannot make the smallest sacrifice, we feel pleased with ourselves for exhibiting our pride but never think it is necessary to be worthy, we depend on others for everything and rend the skies finding fault with them. We take pride in imitating others, we feel honoured to receive their favours yet we throw dust in their eyes and call it politics; and the main object of our lives is to make clever speeches that fill us with self admiration.””
