Quotes by Pramathanath Bishi (?)

“যে কাজ একাকী করা যায় বাঙালী তাহা করিতে পারে। পাঁচজনে মিলিয়া কাজ করিতে গেলেই বাঙালী দলাদলি ও মাথা-ফাটাফাটি করিয়া বসে। সাহিত্য এককের সাধনা, বাঙালী তাহাতে ভারতীয় জাতির মধ্যে অবিসংবাদী শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব লাভ করিয়াছে। প্রতিষ্ঠান গড়িয়া তোলা পাঁচজনের কাজ--- বাঙালীর তাহাতে দুর্বলতার অন্ত নাই।”

“তখন পোস্টমাস্টার ছিলেন যতীন বিশ্বাস নামে এক ভদ্রলোক। তিনি ডাকের কাজ ও তারের কাজ দুইই করিতেন; সেইজন্য আমরা তাঁহার নাম দিয়াছিলাম ডাকতার।”
