More quotes by Indira Gandhi
We would rather starve than sell our national honor.
Indira Gandhi
No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi
Difficulties can't be eliminated from life. Individuals will always have them, countries will always have them...The only thing is to accept them, if possible overcome them, otherwise to come to terms with them. It's all right to fight, yes, but only when it's possible.
Indira Gandhi
My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.
Indira Gandhi
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
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
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 don't mind if my life goes in the service of the nation. If I die, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation.
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
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
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
In India people can't stomach this attitude of mine, and when I say, 'Hurry up, let's get to the point,' they feel hurt.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
I think I'm cold, indeed icy, hard. Then there's another reason, one that goes with my frankness: I don't put on act.
Indira Gandhi
The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.
Indira Gandhi
Finally we promised to limit the birth rate. And this you really didn't believe you smiled scornfully. Well, even in this things have gone well. The fact is that we have grown by over seventy millions in ten years, but it's also true that we have grown less than many other countries, including the countries of Europe.
