IF I HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ANY THING, THE GLORY IS YOURS, NOT MINE

For to this land [ INDIA ] I owe whatever I possess, physical, mental, and spiritual; and if I have been successful in anything, the glory is yours, not mine. Mine alone are my weaknesses and failures, as they come through my inability of profiting by the mighty lessons with which this land surrounds one, even from his very birth.
