"Jinnah is incorruptible and brave."
Gandhi


"No doubt we have achieved Pakistan but that is only yet the beginning of an end. Great responsibilities have come to us, and equally great should be our determination and endeavor to discharge them, and the fulfillments thereof will demand of us efforts and sacrifices in the cause no less for construction and building of our nation than what was required for the achievement of the cherished goal of Pakistan."

- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam

“Are you now, after having achieved Pakistan, going to destroy it by our own folly? Do you want to build it up?
Well then for that purpose there is one essential condition, and it is this, complete unity and solidarity amongst ourselves.”

- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam- Speech: National Consolidation
- Context: Speech to over three lakhs of people at Dhaka on March 21, 1948.

“Balochistan can only exist in Pakistan politically, geographically and economically, it will be in the interest of the people of Balochistan to join the Pakistan Constituent Assembly for it is Pakistan alone that can help them in their educational, social, economic and political uplift. I can assure the people of Balochistan that in Pakistan all classes and interests will get even justice and fair play and I hope that they will not be misled by the propaganda of our enemies, putting class against class and one particular interest against another.”

- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam- Speech: Vote solidly for Pakistan Constituent Assembly

Quaid with his sister and Begum Bashir at the Walton Airport in Lahore, a year after the formation of Pakistan, standing amongst a group of the country's very first pilots. A special occasion, no doubt, judging by the smile on the Quaid's face.

Sad that in Pakistan Mr Jinnah has been cut down to a portrait hung on walls and empty platitudes on his birthday. The country would have done a lot better if it had followed the path Mr Jinnah had wanted, which was a Muslim version of British democracy and institutions. Pakistan turned out to be a place where the former clerks, guards and administrators of the British India colony prospered the most.

True, Very sad.
