Image
The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.
Indira Gandhi

Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
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?

Finally we promised to limit the birth rate. And this you really didn't believe you smiled scornfully. Well, even in this things have gone well.

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
Image
You don't help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It's not right to say that my father influenced me more than others, and I wouldn't be able to say whether my personality was formed more by my father or my mother or the Mahatma [Gandhi] or the friends who were with us.
Indira Gandhi
Image
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.
Indira Gandhi
Image
What we do now, on the other hand...Don't think that I'm crazy about this kind of politics. It's no accident that I've done everything to keep my sons out of it, and so far I've succeeded. After independence I retired immediately from politics.

Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
