Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.

We can't encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.
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.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
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
Image
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Play the hand you're dealt.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Time is not measured by the years that pass by, instead by the things you do, feel or accomplish.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
It is always more difficult to fight one's own failings than the power of an adversary.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance.
Jawaharlal Nehru
