More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.
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
Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Time is not measured by the years that pass by, instead by the things you do, feel or accomplish.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Let us be a little humble let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We can't encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.
Jawaharlal Nehru
As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind and prevent it from perceiving the truth.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of her people, round which are intertwined her memories, her hopes and fears, her songs of triumph, her victories and her defeats. She has been a symbol of India's age-long culture and civilization, ever changing, ever flowing, and yet ever the same Ganga.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I wish that more and more adventurous young men would give up the gun in favour of the camera.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
India has known the innocence and insouciance of childhood, the passion and abandon of youth, and the ripe wisdom of maturity that comes from long experience of pain and pleasure and over and over a gain she has renewed her childhood and youth and age
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
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
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
