9 times Dev Anand inspired us with strong motivational messages

Energy beats energy. If you are lazy, you will always be lazy. And if you retire at 60, you will die at 65.

You create a work of art. You do not know whether it will get public sanction. Sometimes outstanding films do no business, and sometimes films which are not so good work.

I forgive easily. That makes you live long. If your hurt stays, it brings about your downfall.

Life is too short. I don't have time to speak slowly.

I think an individual’s mind is a marvellous thing. I truly believe that if your mind is strong, your body tries hard to keep pace with it.

I am always in a rush because time is slipping away, and I am chasing it, chasing it.
