More quotes by 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
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.

Image
Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.

The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
Indira Gandhi
Image
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
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.

When I'm not governing my country any more, I'll go back to taking care of children.

What we do now, on the other hand...Don't think that I'm crazy about this kind of politics. It's no accident that I've done everything to keep my sons out of it, and so far I've succeeded. After independence I retired immediately from politics.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
Image
By now even the word socialism has so many meanings and interpretations. The Russians call themselves socialists, the Swedes call themselves. And let's not forget that in Germany there was also a national socialism.
Indira Gandhi
Image
My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
Image
All my games were political games I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The Indians and Pakistanis are literally brothers.
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've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.

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.
