"Defeats are always pitiful. Victories are always..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.”

“The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.”

“My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.”

“I shall fight on, I shall fight to win.”

“This is the unusual thing about nonviolence -- nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory.”

“Character is victory organized.”

“Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.”

“He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.”

“For ever so our thoughtful hearts repeatOn fields of triumph dirges of defeat;And still we turn on gala-days to treadAmong the rustling memories of the dead.”
