"I had many dolls. And you know..." - Quote by Indira Gandhi

“A nation' s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.”

“I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.”

“One must beware of ministers who can do nothing without money, and those who want to do everything with money.”

“I went to the circus, and loafed around the back side till the watchman went by, and then dived in under the tent. I had my twenty-dollar gold piece and some other money, but I reckoned I better save it.... I ain't opposed to spending money on circuses, when there ain't no other way, but there ain't no use in wasting it on them.”

“Eternity is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”

“When I turned two I was really anxious, because I'd doubled my age in a year. I thought, if this keeps up, by the time I'm six I'll be ninety.”

“If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done. Spend a day or two, if you can, just 15 minutes here, 5 minutes here, 2 minutes here, here and here, imagining it completed in a way that pleases you! And then, the next time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going to be a whole lot easier.”

“The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.”

“When a man makes up a story for his child, he becomes a father and a child together, listening.”
