As I always say, I do not wish you an easy time, but I wish you that whatever difficulty you may have, you will overcome it.

The immediate is often the enemy of the ultimate.

In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.

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

What good does it do to remain tied to an ideology if you don't achieve anything by it? I have an ideology myself - you can't work in a vacuum; you have to have faith in something.

I don't care if I remain prime minister. I'm only interested in doing a good job as long as I'm capable and for as long as I don't get tired.

Ability is not always gauged by examination.
