More quotes by Indira Gandhi
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
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 grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.
Indira Gandhi
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
Indira Gandhi
Sometimes we hurt one another without realizing it.
Indira Gandhi
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group there was much less competition.
Indira Gandhi
The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.
Indira Gandhi
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
You said, 'How is it possible for democracy to work with an illiterate people who are dying of hunger?' But with that people we made a democracy work.
Indira Gandhi
A nation' s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.
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
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
Indira Gandhi
I know I'll astonish everyone by talking like this, but it's God's truth. Honors have never tempted me and I've never sought them.
Indira Gandhi
I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
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
Not only Negroes and Jews, but also women are part of a great revolt of which one can only approve.
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
