We have tried to remind Government servants that they are servants of the public and have restored discipline in Central Government offices. I have done a small thing, one that appears small from outside. I regularly interact with officers over tea; it is part of my working style. Philosophically, I feel that the country will progress only if we work as teams. This is the only way we can successfully develop the country.

With bad laws and good civil servants it's still possible to govern. But with bad civil servants even the best laws can't help.

Otto von Bismarck

A very large part of English middle-class education is devoted to the training of servants...In so far as it is, by definition, the training of upper servants, it includes, of course, the instilling of that kind of confidence which will enable the upper servants to supervise and direct the lower servants.

Raymond Williams

Why are congressmen called public servants? You never see servants that anxious to keep their jobs.

If public servants are freely allowed to take up lucrative post retirement jobs with companies to whom they have awarded contracts while they were in government, it would open up an easy way for companies to bribe public servants by offering them lucrative post retirement jobs.

Prashant Bhushan

Civil servants and government functionaries do not write memoirs because they hope to get more government jobs or assignments.
