Let us be a little humble let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.
Jawaharlal Nehru

The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
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
Image
I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out.

There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
If the world suffers from mental deterioration or from moral degradation, then something goes wrong at the very root of civilization or culture. Even though that civilization may drag out for a considerable period, it grows less and less vital and ultimately tumbles down.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
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

Poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere
Jawaharlal Nehru

Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru

No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.
Jawaharlal Nehru

The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
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
