More quotes by Indira Gandhi

Image
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.

Image
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.

Still, in international matters, the treaty changes nothing. That is, it doesn't prevent us from being friends with other countries, which indeed we are.
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!

I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
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

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
Image
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You said, 'Planning is something for communist countries democracy and planning don't go together!' But, with all the errors we committed, our plans succeeded.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.

what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
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

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.

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.
