Description
These are some random selections from the thought-provoking speeches of the first Prime Minister and builder of modern India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
The present compilation is an effort to introduce in a handy form, especially to the younger generation, the treasure-thoughts of the legendary Prime Minister.
Citizenship consists in the service of the country. We must prevail on the evil-doers to stop their activities.
Peace cannot be purchased by compromise with evil or by surrender to it. Nor can peace be maintained by methods that themselves are the negation of peace.
I do not believe that a person who ignores that small things of life, the small truths, the small decencies, the small pleasantnesses, the small graciousness, can undertake anything big in a big way.
