The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
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

India wants to avoid a war at all costs but it is not a one-sided affair, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

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.

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
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
Image
When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When one has had a life as difficult as mine, one doesn't worry about how others will react.
Indira Gandhi
Image
A revolution is already taking place in India. Things are changing here already - peacefully and democratically. There's no danger of communism. There would be if we had a rightist government instead of mine.
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
in today's world no country can be absolutely independent of another. It is a world of interdependence.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Image
They're the problems of poverty, of the rights of the individual, of the changes brought about by technology. They're the ones that count, more than religion!
