"I'm not interested in one label or..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.”

“Our pride has grown in the last twenty-five years, though others don't understand it and underestimate it.”

“I was happy to be with my parents. I didn't see very much of them, so I was very happy when my father was there and out of jail.”

“Truth is what works.”

“Never stand so high upon a principle that you cannot lower it to suit the circumstances.”

“Decide which is the line of conduct that presents the fewest drawbacks and then follow it out as being the best one, because one never finds anything perfectly pure and unmixed, or exempt from danger.”

“If you can do something about a situation, why worry? And if you can't do something about a situation, why worry?”

“Hope works in these ways: it looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst; it discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot; it regards problems, large or small, as opportunities; it pushes ahead when it would be easy to quit; it lights the candle instead of cursing the darkness.”

“When trouble comes, wise men take to their work; weak men take to the woods.”
