"People with clenched fists can not shake..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.”

“All the people who fought for freedom were my heroes. I mean, that was the sort of story I liked reading... freedom struggles and so on.”

“Just when you think you've achieved something, you realize you've achieved nothing. And still you have to go forward just the same - toward a dream so distant that your road has neither beginning nor end.”

“If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.”

“An India awakened and free has a message of peace and goodwill to a groaning world.”

“One bright morning when my work is over I will fly away home.”

“Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.”

“Haven't you heard, though,About the ships where war has found them outAt sea, about the towns where war has comeThrough opening clouds at night with droning speedFurther o'erhead than all but stars and angelsAnd children in the ships and in the towns?”

“I like a leader who can, while pointing out a mistake, bring up the good things the other person has done. If you do that, then the person sees that you have a complete picture of him. There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.”
