More quotes by Indira Gandhi
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Whether when I was a child and fought the British in the Monkey brigade, or when I was a girl and wanted to have children, or when I was a woman and devoted myself to my father, making my husband angry. Each time I stayed involved all the way in my decision, and took the consequences. Even if I was fighting for things that didn't concern India.
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
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
I like to think I've provided this faith. I also think that by providing faith, I've focused their pride. I say focused because pride isn't something you give. It doesn't even break out suddenly it's a feeling that grows very slowly, very confusedly.
Indira Gandhi
Little by little I changed my mind, and when I was about eighteen, I began to consider the possibility of getting married. Not to have a husband, but to have children.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
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
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
Indira Gandhi
I always defended my father, as a child, and I think I'm still defending him - his policies at least. Oh, he wasn't at all a politician, in no sense of the word. He was sustained in his work only by a blind faith in India - he was preoccupied in such an obsessive way by the future of India. We understood each other.
Indira Gandhi
If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.
Indira Gandhi
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.
Indira Gandhi
I see nothing wrong in sterilizing a man who has already brought eight or ten children into the world. Especially if it helps those eight or ten children to live better.
Indira Gandhi
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
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
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
