More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
India cannot sit on the fence anymore. It may have to make a choice. Either way it is going face problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
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
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
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
Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
Jawaharlal Nehru
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.
Jawaharlal Nehru
All the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible, so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Every little thing counts in a crisis.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.
Jawaharlal Nehru
India has known the innocence and insouciance of childhood, the passion and abandon of youth, and the ripe wisdom of maturity that comes from long experience of pain and pleasure and over and over a gain she has renewed her childhood and youth and age
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Most of us seldom take the trouble to think. It is a troublesome and fatiguing process and often leads to uncomfortable conclusions. But crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Play the hand you're dealt.
Jawaharlal Nehru
