"Since we took office, inflation, the fiscal deficit and the balance of payments current account deficit have all fallen.

Hotspur lives for the moment, praises himself for it, and despises Furlong, that he does not. Hotspur of course is poor, and Furlong is a good provider.

"Money is representative, and follows the nature and fortunes of the owner...The farmer is covetous of his dollar, and with reason. It is no waif to him. He knows how many strokes of labor it represents. His bones ache with the days' work that earned it. He knows how much land it represents - how much rain, frost and sunshine.

In the city, where money follows the skit of a pen or a lucky rise in exchange, it comes to be looked on as light."

Infrastructure work is also growing rapidly and that happens when there is demand in the economy. From all this it looks like we have moved ahead to better days."

"India is a land of potentials and now, it is also a land of enabling policy environment. It is a nation of 1.25 billion people blessed with the extraordinary resources in the form of 800 million youth. At a time when the global economy remains weak the world speaks in one voice that India is the new bright spot of hope for our region and the world."
