For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
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
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
[Mahatma Gandhi] said that the first president of India ought to be a harijan girl, an untouchable. He was so against the class system and the oppression of women that an untouchable woman became for him the epitome of purity and benediction.
Indira Gandhi
I don't see the world as something divided between right and left.
Indira Gandhi
When [my father] asked me to help him, I really didn't suspect the consequences.
Indira Gandhi
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
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
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.
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.
