"Now I don't get upset by unpleasant..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“We were to equally strong types [with my husband], equally pigheaded - neither of us wanted to give in. And...I like to think those quarrels made us better, that they enlivened our life, because without them we would have had a normal life, yes, but banal and boring.”

“I want to succeed. And I want to succeed in the best way possible, without caring whether people call my actions leftist or rightist.”

“I have lived a long life, and I am proud that I spend the whole of my life in the service of my people. I am only proud of this and nothing else. I shall continue to serve until my last breath, and when I die, I can say, that every drop of my blood will invigorate India and strengthen it.”

“I did have a lot of lack, but I never experienced it. I grew up in the east side of Detroit, in an area where there was very little, except for a lot of scarcity, poverty and hunger. Even growing up in an orphanage, I never woke up saying, "I'm an orphan again today, isn't this terrible? Poor me."”

“Cast your mind on other days that we in coming days may be still the indomitable Irishry.”

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.”

“I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano!”

“When your mother dies, it really hurts. But with time, you get used to it. That's nature's way.”

“Some people say it is hard to live in such a way, being completely one with the present moment. Of course, it is not hard. The opposite is hard. Not being one with life is hard, and that is how most people live.”
