More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Every little thing counts in a crisis.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
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 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
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
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
Jawaharlal Nehru
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.
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
The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.
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
Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The Bhagavad Gita deals essentially with the spiritual foundation of human existence. It is a call of action to meet the obligations and duties of life yet keeping in view the spiritual nature and grander purpose of the universe.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru
America is a country no one should go to for the first time.
Jawaharlal Nehru
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
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
