It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of human ity.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
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.

The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
It is now clear that science is incapable of ordering life. A life is ordered by values.
Jawaharlal Nehru

America is a country no one should go to for the first time.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.

Play the hand you're dealt.

...that great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.

Those who boast are seldom the great.

Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.
