More quotes by Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
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
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
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
Indira Gandhi
Little by little I changed my mind, and when I was about eighteen, I began to consider the possibility of getting married. Not to have a husband, but to have children.
Indira Gandhi
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
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
I began to travel by myself, in Europe, when I was eight years old. At that age I was already on the move between India and Swizerland, Switzerland and France, France and England. Administering my own finances like an adult.
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
Maybe I would have considered the problem if I'd met someone with whom I'd have liked to live. But I never met this someone and... No, even if I had met him, I'm sure I wouldn't have got married again. Why should I get married now that my life is so full? No, no, it's out of the question.
Indira Gandhi
We were to equally strong types [with my husband], equally pigheaded - neither of us wanted to give in. And...I like to think those quarrels made us better, that they enlivened our life, because without them we would have had a normal life, yes, but banal and boring.
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
It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
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.
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
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
The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.
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
