Public Servant Quotes

“My brave, conscientious officers of the law, if you want people to trust you, don't use the phrase "police are your friends", for it only makes you sound authoritarian, egotistical and condescending - instead, remind them "police are humans too" - acknowledge your mistakes and work towards correcting them, so that you can truly become the Caretaker of People, which is the very definition of COP.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Boldly Comes Justice: Sentient Not Silent

“You think fighting for things is what makes you you, but that's only half of it. You can't make decisions that center only on your wants. You care about what everyone else wants. You care.

“He felt like he was here to fight for everyone, but for himself most of all, because he needed to live in a world that was more equitable. A world that took care of the sick and protected the weak while it also gave free rein to those who innovated and made the world richer, more connected, more plentiful for everyone. Those things were not separate, not mutually exclusive, and they needed to be tied back together in the consciousness of our nation, and the world, not just California. But like in everything else, California was as good a place as any to start something.”
― Sonali Dev, Incense and Sensibility

“Sonnet of Public Service

Every reformer is a public servant,
But not every public servant is a reformer,
For public service isn't taught as life itself,
But as just another job little more secure.
If only education focused on life and love,
Instead of constantly peddling competition,
Perhaps we'd have a world little less bitter,
And we'd have ascension, not abomination.
But there's no use in brooding over history,
What's needed is to realize love as our core.
Education and all be manifestations of love,
If not, it is just another snobbish endeavor.
May service be the goal, role and whole of life,
Instead of being and raising educated lowlife.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier
