Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.

Image
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.
Indira Gandhi
Image
No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi
Image
My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Difficulties can't be eliminated from life. Individuals will always have them, countries will always have them...The only thing is to accept them, if possible overcome them, otherwise to come to terms with them. It's all right to fight, yes, but only when it's possible.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Our pride has grown in the last twenty-five years, though others don't understand it and underestimate it.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You found an uncle on one side and a nephew on the other, a cousin here and a cousin there. Besides it's still true today. I'll tell you something else. There was a time when even two ambassadors to Switzerland, the one from India and the one from Pakistan, were two blood brothers. Oh, the Partition imposed on us by the British was so unnatural!
Indira Gandhi
Image
Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Muslim women had to go out in purdah, that heavy sheet that covers even the eyes. Hindu women had to go out in the doli, a kind of closed sedan chair like a catafalque. My mother always told me about these things with bitterness and rage.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I have certain objectives. They're the same objectives my father had to give people a higher standard of living, to do away with the cancer of poverty, to eliminate the consequences of economic backwardness.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
Indira Gandhi
Image
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
Image
We were to equally strong types [with my husband], equally pigheaded - neither of us wanted to give in. And...I like to think those quarrels made us better, that they enlivened our life, because without them we would have had a normal life, yes, but banal and boring.
Indira Gandhi
Image
We know very well that India's destiny is linked to world peace.
Indira Gandhi
Image
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
