More quotes by Indira Gandhi
If we offer something to Bangladesh, it's obvious that Bangladesh is offering something to us. And why shouldn't Bangladesh be able to keep its promises? Economically it's full of resources and can stand on its feet. Politically it seems to me led by trained people. The refugees who took shelter here are going home.
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
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.
Indira Gandhi
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
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
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi
I don't see the world as something divided between right and left.
Indira Gandhi
People often ask me: Who has influenced you the most? Your father? Mahatma Gandhi? Yes, my choices were fundamentally influenced by them, by the spirit of equality they infused in me - my obsession for justice comes from my father, who in turn got it from Mahatma Gandhi.
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
We always said that our struggle was not only against the British as representatives of colonialism, it was against all the evil that existed in India. The evil of the feudal system, the evil of the system based on caste, the evil of economic injustice.
Indira Gandhi
If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.
Indira Gandhi
No one wanted that marriage, no one. Even Mahatma Gandhi wasn't happy about it. As for my father...it's not true that he opposed it, as people say, but he wasn't eager for it. I suppose because the fathers of only daughters would prefer to see them get married as late as possible.
Indira Gandhi
When [my father] asked me to help him, I really didn't suspect the consequences.
Indira Gandhi
I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.
Indira Gandhi
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.
Indira Gandhi
Sometimes we hurt one another without realizing it.
Indira Gandhi
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
I don't care if I remain prime minister. I'm only interested in doing a good job as long as I'm capable and for as long as I don't get tired.
Indira Gandhi
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
