More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru
Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.
Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru

Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?
Jawaharlal Nehru
The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We can't encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
