More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.
Indira Gandhi
A lot of mythology arose after [Mahatma Gandhi] death. But the fact remains that he was an exceptional man, terribly intelligent, with tremendous intuition for people, and a great instinct for what was right.
Indira Gandhi
The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
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
I don't mind if my life goes in the service of the nation. If I die, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation.
Indira Gandhi
People often ask me: Who has influenced you the most? Your father? Mahatma Gandhi? Yes, my choices were fundamentally influenced by them, by the spirit of equality they infused in me - my obsession for justice comes from my father, who in turn got it from Mahatma Gandhi.
Indira Gandhi
Nowadays you can no longer let yourself be indoctrinated - the world is changing so fast! Even what you wanted twenty years ago is no longer relevant today it's outdated.
Indira Gandhi
Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.
Indira Gandhi
Little by little I changed my mind, and when I was about eighteen, I began to consider the possibility of getting married. Not to have a husband, but to have children.
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
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
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.
Indira Gandhi
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
I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
Indira Gandhi
I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.
Indira Gandhi
In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.
Indira Gandhi
[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age. She grew up, to the age of ten, like a wild colt, and then all of a sudden that was over. They had forced on her her 'woman's destiny' by saying, 'This isn't done, this isn't good, this isn't worthy of a lady.'
Indira Gandhi
It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.
Indira Gandhi
There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
