As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Let us be a little humble let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
When the present is full of gloom, the past becomes haven of refuge that provides relief and inspiration.

I wish that more and more adventurous young men would give up the gun in favour of the camera.

The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.

Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere following Gandhi's assassination.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
India has known the innocence and insouciance of childhood, the passion and abandon of youth, and the ripe wisdom of maturity that comes from long experience of pain and pleasure and over and over a gain she has renewed her childhood and youth and age
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Every little thing counts in a crisis.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
The light has gone out of our lives... Yet I am wrong, for the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light... and a thousand years later that light will still be seen in this country and the world will see it... For that light represented the living truth.
Jawaharlal Nehru
