Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The light has gone out of our lives... Yet I am wrong, for the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light... and a thousand years later that light will still be seen in this country and the world will see it... For that light represented the living truth.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The spectacle of what is called religion, or at any rate organised religion, in India and elsewhere, has filled me with horror and I have frequently condemned it and wished to make a clean sweep of it. Almost always it seemed to stand for blind belief and reaction, dogma and bigotry, superstition, exploitation and the preservation of vested interests.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Let us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Politics and Religion are obsolete. The time has come for Science and Spirituality.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
In our society competitive capitalism has put family life and working life on a collision course.In Canada statistics show that over 70 percent of the burden of caring for children, the aged, the disabled and the sick falls on women most of whom receive no pay for these very essential tasks.Normally speaking, it may be said that the forces of capitalism, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer and thus increase the gap between them.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
But, after all, no safeguards are adequate, unless the will to give effect to them fully is present.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru

Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Most of us seldom take the trouble to think. It is a troublesome and fatiguing process and often leads to uncomfortable conclusions. But crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Blood and tears are going to be our lot, whether we like them or not. Our blood and tears will flow; maybe the parched soil of India needs them so that the fine flower of freedom may grow again.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.

Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
If any person raises his hand to strike down another on the ground of religion, I shall fight him till the last breath of my life, both as the head of the government and from the outside

In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
India cannot sit on the fence anymore. It may have to make a choice. Either way it is going face problems,
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
A language is something infinitely greater than grammar and philology. It is the poetic testament of the genius of a race and a culture, and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fancies that have moulded them
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Every great revolution, whether it is right or not, we really know has any vital, urgent need to basis. It comes not just from itself.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
No country or people who are slaves to dogma and the dogmatic mentality can progress, and unhappily our country and people have become extraordinarily dogmatic and little-minded
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru

Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
All the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible, so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this one world that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
The best and noblest gifts of humanity cannot be the monopoly of a particular race or country; its scope may not be limited nor may it be regarded as the miser's hoard buried underground.
Quote by -Jawaharlal Nehru
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
