More quotes by Indira Gandhi
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
When [my father] asked me to help him, I really didn't suspect the consequences.
Indira Gandhi
The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.
Indira Gandhi
Everything I've done, I've done because I wanted to do it. In doing it, I've plunged in headlong, always believing in it.

I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.

Still, in international matters, the treaty changes nothing. That is, it doesn't prevent us from being friends with other countries, which indeed we are.
Indira Gandhi
I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.
Indira Gandhi
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
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
It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.
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
Nowadays you can no longer let yourself be indoctrinated - the world is changing so fast! Even what you wanted twenty years ago is no longer relevant today it's outdated.
Indira Gandhi
When you look at the beginning of the actual war, it's not hard to recognize that the Pakistanis were the ones to attack.
Indira Gandhi
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
Indira Gandhi
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
The Indians and Pakistanis are literally brothers.
Indira Gandhi
The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.
Indira Gandhi
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
