4. Kabhi kabhi hum mushkil rasta sirf is liye chunte hai; kyun ki humein lagta hai, important cheezein paane ke liye humein mushkil rasta apnana chahiye; apne aap ko punish karna bahut zaroori samajhte hai; but why, aasaan rasta kyun nahi chun sakte; kya burai hai us mein; khaas karke jab us mushkil ka saamna karne ke liye hum taiyaar hi nahi hai- Dear Zindagi

5. ‘Zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho … toh hamesha dil ki suno … aur agar dil bhi koi jawab na de toh aankhen band karke apni maa aur papa ka naam lo … phir dekhna har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil aasaan ho jayegi … jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari.’- Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham

6. “Sattar minute, sattar minute hai tumhare paas; shayad tumhari zindagi ke sabse khaas sattar minute…” – Chak De! India
