More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I always wanted to have children - if it had been up to me, I would have had eleven. It was my husband who wanted only two.
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 Indians and Pakistanis are literally brothers.
Indira Gandhi
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
Indira Gandhi
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
If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.
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
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
The old need the company of the young so that they renew their contact with life.
Indira Gandhi
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Not only Negroes and Jews, but also women are part of a great revolt of which one can only approve.
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
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.
Indira Gandhi
People who say it was her father who prepared her for the post of prime minister, it was her father who launched her, are wrong.
Indira Gandhi
People with clenched fists can not shake hands.
Indira Gandhi
By now even the word socialism has so many meanings and interpretations. The Russians call themselves socialists, the Swedes call themselves. And let's not forget that in Germany there was also a national socialism.
Indira Gandhi
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
