More quotes by 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
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
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Just when you think you've achieved something, you realize you've achieved nothing. And still you have to go forward just the same - toward a dream so distant that your road has neither beginning nor end.
Indira Gandhi
If you only knew what it did to me to have lived in that house where the police were bursting in to take everyone away! I certainly didn't have a happy and serene childhood.
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
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
Indira Gandhi
Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.
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
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
Satisfied is a word I use only in reference to my country, and I'll never be satisfied for my country. For this reasons I go on taking difficult paths, and between a paved road and a footpath that goes up the mountain, I choose the footpath. To the great irritation of my bodyguards.
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
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Indira Gandhi
I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.
Indira Gandhi
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
Indira Gandhi
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
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
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
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.
