More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse. So we are forced to accept democracy. It has good points and also bad. But merely saying that democracy will solve all problems is utterly wrong. Problems are solved by intelligence and hard work.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I think that sacrifices of animals in the name of religion are barbarous and they degrade the name of religion.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Its [Communism's] unfortunate association with violence encourages a certain evil tendency in human beings.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind and prevent it from perceiving the truth.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. War itself is not the objective victory is not the objective you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. If you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The Bhagavad Gita deals essentially with the spiritual foundation of human existence. It is a call of action to meet the obligations and duties of life yet keeping in view the spiritual nature and grander purpose of the universe.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Remember always that there not so very much difference between various people as we seem to imagine. Maps and atlases show us countries in different colors. Undoubtedly people do differ from one another, but they resemble each other also a great deal, and it is well to keep this in mind and not misled by colors on the map or by national boundaries.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.
Jawaharlal Nehru
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.
Jawaharlal Nehru
