More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Play the hand you're dealt.
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
If the world suffers from mental deterioration or from moral degradation, then something goes wrong at the very root of civilization or culture. Even though that civilization may drag out for a considerable period, it grows less and less vital and ultimately tumbles down.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.
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
I have long believed that the only way peace can be achieved is through world government.
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
It is always more difficult to fight one's own failings than the power of an adversary.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
Jawaharlal Nehru
I wish that more and more adventurous young men would give up the gun in favour of the camera.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
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
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
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
