More quotes by 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
Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru
When you imitate the enemy's tactics, you take on his liabilities.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
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
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. It is never a narrowing of the mind or a restriction of the human spirit or the country's spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
Jawaharlal Nehru
A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.
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
Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse.
Jawaharlal Nehru
