More quotes by Indira Gandhi
It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.
Indira Gandhi
Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.
Indira Gandhi
It's not right to say that my father influenced me more than others, and I wouldn't be able to say whether my personality was formed more by my father or my mother or the Mahatma [Gandhi] or the friends who were with us.
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
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
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
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
The old need the company of the young so that they renew their contact with life.
Indira Gandhi
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
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
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
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
Indira Gandhi
America always thought it was helping Pakistan. But if it hadn't helped Pakistan, Pakistan would have been a stronger country.
Indira Gandhi
All my games were political games I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi
The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.
Indira Gandhi
Being prime minister isn't the only job in life! As far as I'm concerned, I could live in a village and be satisfied.
Indira Gandhi
You found an uncle on one side and a nephew on the other, a cousin here and a cousin there. Besides it's still true today. I'll tell you something else. There was a time when even two ambassadors to Switzerland, the one from India and the one from Pakistan, were two blood brothers. Oh, the Partition imposed on us by the British was so unnatural!
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
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
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.
