More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
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
The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
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
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
Jawaharlal Nehru
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
America is a country no one should go to for the first time.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Play the hand you're dealt.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
Jawaharlal Nehru
The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.
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
Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.
Jawaharlal Nehru
