More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed.
Jawaharlal Nehru

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
Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.
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
I have long believed that the only way peace can be achieved is through world government.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
