More quotes by 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
Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.
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

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
India cannot sit on the fence anymore. It may have to make a choice. Either way it is going face problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
Jawaharlal Nehru
The light has gone out of our lives... Yet I am wrong, for the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light... and a thousand years later that light will still be seen in this country and the world will see it... For that light represented the living truth.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

Those who boast are seldom the great.
