On 123rd birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chanrds Bose, here are the 10 most famous thoughts and quotes from the iconic Indian freedom fighter:

1] Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Main Tumhe Azadi Doonga (Give me blood and I will give you freedom!).

2] India is calling. Blood is calling to blood. Get up, we have no time to lose. Take up your arms! We shall carve our way through the enemy's ranks, or if God wills, we shall die a martyr's death. And in our last sleep, we shall kiss the road that will bring our Army to Delhi.

3] One individual may die for an idea, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.

4] When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a steamroller.

5] Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle - if there are no risks to be taken.

6] Reality is, after all, too big for our frail understanding to fully comprehend. Nevertheless, we have to build our life on the theory which contains the maximum truth.

7] We cannot sit still because we cannot, or do not, know the Absolute Truth.

8] Freedom is not given - it is taken.

9] The secret of political bargaining is to look more strong than what you really are.

10] Soldiers who always remain faithful to their nation, who are always prepared to sacrifice their lives, are invincible.
