- Bring up your sons like you bring up your daughters, so that they learn the tenderness. – Justice Leila Seth
- The most important things- justice, equality, liberty, secularism – these are concepts if you teach your child when six or seven, they keep for the rest of their lives. Children have to realize you have to share with others. It’s not just enough to make money. – Justice Leila Seth
