Image
To bear many children is considered not only a religious blessing but also an investment. The greater their number, some Indians reason, the more alms they can beg.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.
Indira Gandhi
Image
All my games were political games I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious ambition may help him see reality.
Indira Gandhi
Image
For me it's absolutely the same - I treat one and the other in exactly the same way. As persons, that is, not as men and women. But, even here, you have to consider the fact that I've had a very special education, that I'm the daughter of a man like my father and a woman like my mother.
Indira Gandhi
Image
My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
[ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is not a very balanced man. When he talks, you never understand what he means. What does he mean this time? That he wants to be friends with us? We've wanted to be friends with him for some time I've always wanted to.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
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
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
People who say it was her father who prepared her for the post of prime minister, it was her father who launched her, are wrong.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
Image
in today's world no country can be absolutely independent of another. It is a world of interdependence.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.
