People avoid action. Often because they are afraid of the consequences, for action means risk and danger. Danger seems terrible from a distance it is not so bad if you have a close look at it

More quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
America is a country no one should go to for the first time.
Jawaharlal Nehru
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
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
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
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharlal Nehru
...that great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What is history, indeed, but a record of change?
Jawaharlal Nehru
Those who boast are seldom the great.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future has to be lived before it can be written about.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.
Jawaharlal Nehru
What we need is a generation of peace.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Remember always that there not so very much difference between various people as we seem to imagine. Maps and atlases show us countries in different colors. Undoubtedly people do differ from one another, but they resemble each other also a great deal, and it is well to keep this in mind and not misled by colors on the map or by national boundaries.
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
I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
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.
Jawaharlal Nehru
There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.
Jawaharlal Nehru
