Amir Khan Quotes
Here is a gallery of a collection of 6 Amir Khan quotes for inspiration. In the following sections, you’ll find a detailed narrative of these quotes along with an image.
I am a very idealistic man, I believe that even people who are part of the problem can become part of the solution
Ideals are inspiring – they aren’t always practical. But they tell us whether our life is as per our values and standards. The nicest part of this quote by Amir Khan is about the value of these ideals and how they can shape a solution. Sure, sometimes these ideals are extrapolated to carry on an extreme view. But that’s not the purpose of an ideal is it?
If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviours and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve – Tony Robbins
If our ideals don’t serve humanity or help others create a better life – then perhaps we might need to review them. We can’t take these ideals at face value either. The primary motive should always be the betterment of the people around us. And for that, we all can strive to be a part of the solution.
I am a very idealistic man, I believe that even people who are part of the problem can become part of the solution
Amir Khan
The positive aspect of this quote is about being a part of the solution than a problem. Problems are available in plenty, not many focus on solving them. It is a choice to identify which side you belong to. It is not easy, but certainly provides a solution perspective rather than complaining about issues.
I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success
Unfortunately few celebrities talk about failures openly. There is often a taboo in the society about failures, a shadow of shame. If you are trying anything worthwhile, failures are a part of life. Instead of accepting them and devising a strategy, we can’t hide under excuses.
This reminds me of a beautiful quote by Abdul Kalam
Don’t read success stories, you will only get a message. Read failure stories, you will get some ideas to get success
Abdul Kalam
Ultimately, it is your decision to identify what’s more important – your success or reasons for failure. You don’t need to justify your outcomes to anyone but yourself. These words from Amir Khan fill me with hope for treating failures as a mere outcome. This helps us to deal with failures normally instead of being overwhelmed.
I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success
Amir Khan
Bill Gates calls success a ‘Lousy Teacher’ because it seduces the intelligent ones to believe that they can never be wrong. And that is a horrible moral, isn’t it? Failures although underrated have a great value in the essence that they are shaping us all along. It is our responsibility as to how we let them shape us, but they do shape us and play an important role all the same.
I do what I feel is right, I am not scared to walk on the new path and take risk – Amir Khan, doing what is right quote
Every great achievement in this world has at one point been a risk. It was the risk of Copernicus that led to the belief of a sun centric system, Galileo to bring out the telescope and Disney to bring out Mickey Mouse.
Culturally we are taught to weigh our risks. Naturally risks impact our motivation more than the opportunity of a dream. However, this is a counterproductive way of working. If you are constantly afraid of failure, you have very little chance of success. Ultimately, anything worthwhile will involve certain risk. If these fears take over, you have little chance of achieving something extraordinary in life.
I do what I feel is right. I am not scared to walk on the new path and take risk
– Amir Khan
It is in this context, I find these inspirational words from Amir Khan powerful. They send a clear message of listening to your inner voice and doing what is right. There are always lessons in success and failure. Fear is not a positive lesson.
The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement
Success is more of a journey than a destination. Success is often underrated because most advertising and education tends to focus on results instead of process. If success were a destination, the concept of constant improvement would be dead.
Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming
John Wooden
With each success we grow to take on more adventurous challenges. Our capabilities increase making the journey unique and beautiful. This is one of the underrated secrets of success. If you don’t enjoy the journey which is shaping you as a person, it is a waste of time and life.
Anthony Robbins in one of his talks states – “It is not what you get that matters, it is who you become”. From the time I heard that, I have been an absolute fan of this quote. And I think one of the greatest gifts we will get through the process, the biggest resource we will have is the quality of people we get to interact with because they decide a great deal in our life.

I made a very important decision- I won’t sign films for money, fame or name and not even for big banners. For me, it has always been whether my gut feeling, my instinct or my heart is allowing me to agree to do a film or not – Amir Khan
Money is often treated as a measure of success. In this Amir Khan quotes, we focus on money as a byproduct and your personal vision as success. It is your life and needs to be led on your terms. Don’t let advertising dictate what defines your success.
Most often, adverts herald money and materials as measures of success. The only reason is to sell more of their products. Instead of falling into this trap, look within and find out what’s most important to you. We included this quote for the purpose of highlighting importance of yourself in life.
Our jobs only serve one segment of our lives. You cannot treat that as the only purpose of your life. Your life is richer with the jobs satisfying some of your basic needs. Find out what your hunger and emotions are telling you about the purpose of your life. Your gut usually has a very strong message if you listen intently.
And if we want to take life to the next stage, we got to follow our passion. Money has a way of following us and that is the best way to earn it too. It is a great slave but a horrible master and it knows how to answer for a command. And what better a commander than your gut feeling and passion?
I made a very important decision- I won’t sign films for money, fame or name and not even for big banners. For me, it has always been whether my gut feeling, my instinct or my heart is allowing me to agree to do a film or not

Education is education, be it verbal or written – Amir Khan motivational words on education and learning
We talked about the lobby of advertising in defining success in our earlier Amir Khan quotes – I won’t sign pictures for money. Education is often another lobby where degrees seem to create a differentiation in society.
However, education is about moulding your character. This quote from Amir Khan lines closely with Vivekananda’s thoughts on – Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man. Don’t fall prey to these societal or cultural separation. Focus on education which widens your mind.
Listen to the thoughts which question your mindset. Constantly focus on the question – is it making me grow? If the answer is no, then find a way to avoid this thought into your life. Don’t let thoughts or people influence you without a strong justification. Everything you listen to or talk about adds into your character. It is your life and your decision about what influences you.
If you maintain that control, everything else will find a way to follow you and create a life for you.
Education is education, be it verbal or written

Good collection
Apart from fifth, I can relate to all the quotes. So realistic and true.
Thanks Saru, I guess that is something which only Aamir khan or a person in his shoes can speak for themselves. I liked a few of his movie selections. I don’t really see much of a logic in the movies Dhoom and Talash though. But maybe they satisfied his gut feeling. Probably!
Lovely quotes, Vinay. No wonder he is my role model.
Thank you Kashpal. Aamir is a wonderful icon and a role model for many who believe in a life of values. I love the public image he has maintained and the way he has carried himself. I like that he is never at the commercial award functions and is there at the government ones which promote true arts. I like how he has not sold himself out for money. I like that he is not a face of business and marketing but a face of ethics and morals. He truly is a worthy role model indeed.
some real good lessons.
Thank you Shamsud :)
All the quotes are very nice Vinay. His quest for excellence seems to spill over to everything he does.
Thank you Somali. Something I feel about Aamir is that he lives those things he talks about. We find very few people like that and those people are worth all the respect and adulation they get :)
Very true! Amir has certainly created a symbol of perfection and a path for others to follow suit. Good post Vinay.
Thank you Fayaz, Indeed. I loved his venture with Satyameva Jayate and the trend of movies he is working on of late. Kinda makes me respect him more and more :)
Aamir Khan is a perfectionist and from his quotes, it seems, he practices what he preaches. Good collection, Vinay…:-)
True Maniparna :). He is a very inspiring character and of late when I see him on screen, I feel like respecting him for the values he actually stands for and that is somehow very evident in almost everything he does, just like you said :)
