Image
Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.

What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Most of us seldom take the trouble to think. It is a troublesome and fatiguing process and often leads to uncomfortable conclusions. But crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.

America is a country no one should go to for the first time.
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.

Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.

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
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.

Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
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

Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere following Gandhi's assassination.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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
Image
As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
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.

Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.

Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.
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.
