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.

More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru
As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
Jawaharlal Nehru
It is always more difficult to fight one's own failings than the power of an adversary.
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
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
Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. War itself is not the objective victory is not the objective you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. If you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I think that sacrifices of animals in the name of religion are barbarous and they degrade the name of religion.
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
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
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
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We can't encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
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
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
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 Ganga to me is the symbol of India's memorable past which has been flowing into the present and continues to flow towards the ocean of the future.
Jawaharlal Nehru
