More quotes by 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
You said, 'Planning is something for communist countries democracy and planning don't go together!' But, with all the errors we committed, our plans succeeded.
Indira Gandhi
We must protect families, we must protect children, who have inalienable rights and should be loved, should be taken care of physically and mentally, and should not be brought into the world only to suffer.
Indira Gandhi
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi
[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age. She grew up, to the age of ten, like a wild colt, and then all of a sudden that was over. They had forced on her her 'woman's destiny' by saying, 'This isn't done, this isn't good, this isn't worthy of a lady.'
Indira Gandhi
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
Indira Gandhi
The question before the advanced nations is not whether they can afford to help the developing nations, but whether they can afford not to do so.
Indira Gandhi
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
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
People with clenched fists can not shake hands.
Indira Gandhi
A revolution is already taking place in India. Things are changing here already - peacefully and democratically. There's no danger of communism. There would be if we had a rightist government instead of mine.
Indira Gandhi
It depends on what you mean by the word religion. Certainly I don't go to temples and pray to the gods or anything like that.
Indira Gandhi
It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.
Indira Gandhi
Muslim women had to go out in purdah, that heavy sheet that covers even the eyes. Hindu women had to go out in the doli, a kind of closed sedan chair like a catafalque. My mother always told me about these things with bitterness and rage.
Indira Gandhi
A lot of mythology arose after [Mahatma Gandhi] death. But the fact remains that he was an exceptional man, terribly intelligent, with tremendous intuition for people, and a great instinct for what was right.
Indira Gandhi
