More quotes by Indira Gandhi
The old need the company of the young so that they renew their contact with life.
Indira Gandhi
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group there was much less competition.
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
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
I suspected [Richard Nixon] was very pro-Pakistan. Or rather I knew that the Americans had always been in favor of Pakistan - not so much because they were in favor of Pakistan, but because they were against India.
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
The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.
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
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
Indira Gandhi
When I'm not governing my country any more, I'll go back to taking care of children.
Indira Gandhi
Politics...You see, it depends on what kind of politics. What we did during my father's generation was a duty. And it was beautiful because its goal was the conquest of freedom.
Indira Gandhi
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
Indira Gandhi
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious ambition may help him see reality.
Indira Gandhi
The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.
Indira Gandhi
What we do now, on the other hand...Don't think that I'm crazy about this kind of politics. It's no accident that I've done everything to keep my sons out of it, and so far I've succeeded. After independence I retired immediately from politics.
Indira Gandhi
To become capable, one must have faith in oneself.
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
I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.
Indira Gandhi
You don't help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.
