More quotes by Indira Gandhi
It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
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
Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
Indira Gandhi
You said, 'How is it possible for democracy to work with an illiterate people who are dying of hunger?' But with that people we made a democracy work.
Indira Gandhi
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.
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
They're the problems of poverty, of the rights of the individual, of the changes brought about by technology. They're the ones that count, more than religion!
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
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
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group there was much less competition.
Indira Gandhi
Until I was about eighteen, yes [I didn't want to get married]. But not because I felt like a suffragette, but because I wanted to devote all my energies to the struggle to free India. Marriage, I thought, would have distracted me from the duties I'd imposed on myself.
Indira Gandhi
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.
Indira Gandhi
In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.
Indira Gandhi
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
When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.
Indira Gandhi
It's not right to say that my father influenced me more than others, and I wouldn't be able to say whether my personality was formed more by my father or my mother or the Mahatma [Gandhi] or the friends who were with us.
Indira Gandhi
It would seem that it was not in the interest of 'someone' for us to make progress. It was in 'someone's' interest that we be always at war, that we tear each other to pieces. Yes, I'm inclined to absolve the Pakistanis. How should they have behaved? Someone encouraged them to attack us, someone gave them weapons to attack us. And they attacked us.
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
