More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of human ity.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
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
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
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
The future has to be lived before it can be written about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.
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
Play the hand you're dealt.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Most of us seldom take the trouble to think. It is a troublesome and fatiguing process and often leads to uncomfortable conclusions. But crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.
Jawaharlal Nehru
No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
Jawaharlal Nehru
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I wish that more and more adventurous young men would give up the gun in favour of the camera.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
