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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
in today's world no country can be absolutely independent of another. It is a world of interdependence.
Indira Gandhi
Image
We would rather starve than sell our national honor.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
Image
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You soon realize that the peak you've climbed was one of the lowest, that the mountain was part of a chain of mountains, that there are still so many, so many mountains to climb...And the more you climb, the more you want to climb - even though you're dead tired.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm trained to difficulties difficulties can't be eliminated from life.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Image
I began to associate with Mahatma Gandhi when he came and went in our house - together with my father and mother he was on the executive committee. After independence I worked with him a lot - in the period when there were the troubles between Hindus and Muslims, he assigned me to take care of the Muslims. To protect them.
