When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.
Indira Gandhi
It's not at all hard to reconcile the two things if you organize your time intelligently. Even when my sons were little, I was working.
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
Being prime minister isn't the only job in life! As far as I'm concerned, I could live in a village and be satisfied.
Indira Gandhi
I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
Maybe I would have considered the problem if I'd met someone with whom I'd have liked to live. But I never met this someone and... No, even if I had met him, I'm sure I wouldn't have got married again. Why should I get married now that my life is so full? No, no, it's out of the question.
Indira Gandhi
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.

There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
Indira Gandhi
I always wanted to have children - if it had been up to me, I would have had eleven. It was my husband who wanted only two.
Indira Gandhi
Whether when I was a child and fought the British in the Monkey brigade, or when I was a girl and wanted to have children, or when I was a woman and devoted myself to my father, making my husband angry. Each time I stayed involved all the way in my decision, and took the consequences. Even if I was fighting for things that didn't concern India.
Indira Gandhi
Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
Indira Gandhi
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
I want to succeed. And I want to succeed in the best way possible, without caring whether people call my actions leftist or rightist.
Indira Gandhi
It depends on what you mean by the word religion. Certainly I don't go to temples and pray to the gods or anything like that.
Indira Gandhi
Politics...You see, it depends on what kind of politics. What we did during my father's generation was a duty. And it was beautiful because its goal was the conquest of freedom.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
