More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
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
The Bhagavad Gita deals essentially with the spiritual foundation of human existence. It is a call of action to meet the obligations and duties of life yet keeping in view the spiritual nature and grander purpose of the universe.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere following Gandhi's assassination.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
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
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
No country or people who are slaves to dogma and the dogmatic mentality can progress, and unhappily our country and people have become extraordinarily dogmatic and little-minded
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
The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future has to be lived before it can be written about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Remember always that there not so very much difference between various people as we seem to imagine. Maps and atlases show us countries in different colors. Undoubtedly people do differ from one another, but they resemble each other also a great deal, and it is well to keep this in mind and not misled by colors on the map or by national boundaries.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Play the hand you're dealt.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Slogans are apt to petrify man's thinking ... every slogan, every word almost, that is used by the socialist, the communist, the capitalist. People hardly think nowadays. They throwT words at each other.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is always more difficult to fight one's own failings than the power of an adversary.
Jawaharlal Nehru
