Jawaharlal Nehru
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.
Jawaharlal Nehru

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
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
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
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere following Gandhi's assassination.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is always more difficult to fight one's own failings than the power of an adversary.
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
