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.
Jawaharlal Nehru

As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
Jawaharlal Nehru

The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
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
Image
Science and technology have freed humanity from many burdens and given us this new perspective and great power. This power can be used for the good of all. If wisdom governs our actions but if the world is mad or foolish, it can destroy itself just when great advances and triumphs are almost without its grasp.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.

Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.

We can't encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.
