More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I suspected [Richard Nixon] was very pro-Pakistan. Or rather I knew that the Americans had always been in favor of Pakistan - not so much because they were in favor of Pakistan, but because they were against India.
Indira Gandhi
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
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
Indira Gandhi
You soon realize that the peak you've climbed was one of the lowest, that the mountain was part of a chain of mountains, that there are still so many, so many mountains to climb...And the more you climb, the more you want to climb - even though you're dead tired.
Indira Gandhi
I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?
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've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
Indira Gandhi
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
Indira Gandhi
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
Indira Gandhi
I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
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
If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.
Indira Gandhi
It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
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
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious ambition may help him see reality.
Indira Gandhi
