If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.

More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.
Indira Gandhi
I don't care if I remain prime minister. I'm only interested in doing a good job as long as I'm capable and for as long as I don't get tired.
Indira Gandhi
I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.
Indira Gandhi
No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi
I began to associate with Mahatma Gandhi when he came and went in our house - together with my father and mother he was on the executive committee. After independence I worked with him a lot - in the period when there were the troubles between Hindus and Muslims, he assigned me to take care of the Muslims. To protect them.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?
Indira Gandhi
To become capable, one must have faith in oneself.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
Indira Gandhi
I always defended my father, as a child, and I think I'm still defending him - his policies at least. Oh, he wasn't at all a politician, in no sense of the word. He was sustained in his work only by a blind faith in India - he was preoccupied in such an obsessive way by the future of India. We understood each other.
Indira Gandhi
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
Indira Gandhi
I know I'll astonish everyone by talking like this, but it's God's truth. Honors have never tempted me and I've never sought them.
Indira Gandhi
[Mahatma Gandhi] said that the first president of India ought to be a harijan girl, an untouchable. He was so against the class system and the oppression of women that an untouchable woman became for him the epitome of purity and benediction.
Indira Gandhi
The question before the advanced nations is not whether they can afford to help the developing nations, but whether they can afford not to do so.
Indira Gandhi
The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.
Indira Gandhi
People often ask me: Who has influenced you the most? Your father? Mahatma Gandhi? Yes, my choices were fundamentally influenced by them, by the spirit of equality they infused in me - my obsession for justice comes from my father, who in turn got it from Mahatma Gandhi.
