More quotes by Indira Gandhi
My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
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
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
Indira Gandhi
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.
Indira Gandhi
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.
Indira Gandhi
I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?
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
To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.
Indira Gandhi
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.
Indira Gandhi
Being prime minister isn't the only job in life! As far as I'm concerned, I could live in a village and be satisfied.
Indira Gandhi
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
Indira Gandhi
Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
Indira Gandhi
Politics...You see, it depends on what kind of politics. What we did during my father's generation was a duty. And it was beautiful because its goal was the conquest of freedom.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
Until the day she died, my mother continued to fight for the rights of women. She joined all the women's movements of the time she stirred up a lot of revolts. She was a great woman, a great figure. Women today would like her immensely.
Indira Gandhi
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
My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.
Indira Gandhi
No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi
Whether when I was a child and fought the British in the Monkey brigade, or when I was a girl and wanted to have children, or when I was a woman and devoted myself to my father, making my husband angry. Each time I stayed involved all the way in my decision, and took the consequences. Even if I was fighting for things that didn't concern India.
Indira Gandhi
