“For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.”

It is our duty to create a social milieu in which the young and the socially weak feel that the present and future belong to them.

The old need the company of the young so that they renew their contact with life.

To become capable, one must have faith in oneself.

It’s not right to say that my father influenced me more than others, and I wouldn’t be able to say whether my personality was formed more by my father or my mother or the Mahatma [Gandhi] or the friends who were with us.

To be a mother, a housewife, never cost me any sacrifice – I savored every minute of those years.

Every new experience brings its own maturity and a greater clarity of vision.

In all communities you find groups that behave badly. But you must understand them too.

Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.

That’s always been my philosophy. – I’ve never thought of the consequences of a necessary action.

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

Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.

Women sometimes go too far, it’s true. But it’s only when you go too far that others listen.

My theory is that men are no more liberated than women.

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

To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.

The night is young we can keep talking till morning but lets change to the body language instead.

You, like nature again, will bloom again and change beautifully.

If I gained one thing from philosophy is that at the very least, I am well prepared to confront any change in fortune.

Change does not change tradition, it strengthens it. Change is a challenge and anopportunity, not a threat.

Changes bring opportunity for growth.

I am not a person you will find twice.

Let autumn be proof that change is a beautiful thing even tho it can be hard to see at first.

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
