More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.
Jawaharlal Nehru
In order to understand people, we have to understand their way of life and approach. If we wish to convince them, we have to use their language in the narrow sense of the mind. Something that goes even much further than that is not the appeal to logic and reason, but some kind of emotional awareness of the other people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Every little thing counts in a crisis.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is now clear that science is incapable of ordering life. A life is ordered by values.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Blood and tears are going to be our lot, whether we like them or not. Our blood and tears will flow maybe the parched soil of India needs them so that the fine flower of freedom may grow again.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Science and technology have freed humanity from many burdens and given us this new perspective and great power. This power can be used for the good of all. If wisdom governs our actions but if the world is mad or foolish, it can destroy itself just when great advances and triumphs are almost without its grasp.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere following Gandhi's assassination.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future has to be lived before it can be written about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
If the world suffers from mental deterioration or from moral degradation, then something goes wrong at the very root of civilization or culture. Even though that civilization may drag out for a considerable period, it grows less and less vital and ultimately tumbles down.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Every great revolution, whether it is right or not, we really know has any vital, urgent need to basis. It comes not just from itself.
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
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
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
Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.
Jawaharlal Nehru
