More quotes by 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
I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
Indira Gandhi
Until I was about eighteen, yes [I didn't want to get married]. But not because I felt like a suffragette, but because I wanted to devote all my energies to the struggle to free India. Marriage, I thought, would have distracted me from the duties I'd imposed on myself.
Indira Gandhi
Even I, when I was a student in London, often wore Western clothes, and yet I'm the most Indian Indian I know.

Indira Gandhi
I like to think I've provided this faith. I also think that by providing faith, I've focused their pride. I say focused because pride isn't something you give. It doesn't even break out suddenly it's a feeling that grows very slowly, very confusedly.
Indira Gandhi
It's not at all hard to reconcile the two things if you organize your time intelligently. Even when my sons were little, I was working.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a saint. He was the closest thing to a saint that you can find in a normal man.
Indira Gandhi
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
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
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
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.
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 have certain objectives. They're the same objectives my father had to give people a higher standard of living, to do away with the cancer of poverty, to eliminate the consequences of economic backwardness.
Indira Gandhi
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
Indira Gandhi
