This dialogue from 12th Fail teaches us no matter how hard the exam is, you must try, and giving up is not an option.

This dialogue takes us to the dark world where people take bribes to complete a work.

This is one of the best 12th Fail quotes that every UPSC student should remember. 

It's not a big thing to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer ... the big thing is that the chair on which you'll sit ... that shouldn't increase your stature ... instead, the chair's stature should increase because of you

4. “Toote hue sapne ki sune kaun siski ... antar ko cheer vyatha palkon par thitki ... aasun na bahaunga, sirf muskuraunga ... keh dena bhagya se ke main kal laut aaunga”

No one listens to the cry of a broken dream ... the agony within me makes my eyes moist ... I won't shed tears and I'll only smile ... tell my destiny that I'll return tomorrow

5. “Yeh joh jazba hota hai kisi mehenga school college mein padne se toh nahi aata hai ... yeh aata hai croredon Hindustaniyo ki umeedon se”

Passion isn't taught in some expensive school or college ... it comes from the hopes of millions of Indians

6. “If I cannot be the sun that shines upon the earth ... I can still be a lamp and light up my street”

This 12th Fail dialogue teaches us not to give up in any situation. 

7. “Imaandari ki third division baimaani ki first division se kahin zyada khushi deti hai”

Third division earned with honesty gives you far more happiness than first degree earned with cheating

8. “Har jeet sab laga rehta hai ... lekin jis din hum mein se kisi ek ka jeet hota hai na ... toh Hindustan ke croredon bhed bakriyon ka jeet hota hai”

Winning and losing is part of the game ... but the day one amongst us will win ... then that win will belong to millions of poor Indians

9. “Bahar ke andhere se nahi ... andar ke andhere se daro”

Don't fear the darkness that's outside ... fear the darkness that's inside you

10. “Manoj, tum chahe IPS officer bano ya aaa chakki mein kaam karo, main saari zindagi tumhare sath bitana chahti hu.”

This line proves that love does not care for anything. The translation would be that Manoj, whether you become an IPS officer or not, I will always be there for you.
