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.

More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?
Jawaharlal Nehru
Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse.
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
...that great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Every great revolution, whether it is right or not, we really know has any vital, urgent need to basis. It comes not just from itself.
Jawaharlal Nehru
You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.
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
I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future has to be lived before it can be written about.
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
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
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
I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.
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
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
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
Jawaharlal Nehru
History is the record of human progress, a record of the struggle of the advancement of the human mind, of the human spirit, towards some known or unknown objective.
Jawaharlal Nehru
