Even I, When I Was A Student

You Cannot Shake Hands With A Clenched Fist.

To Bear Many Children Is Considered Not Only A Religious Blessing But Also An Investment. The Greater Their Number, Some Indians Reason, The More Alms They Can Beg.

It's Not At All Hard To Reconcile The Two Things If You Organize Your Time Intelligently. Even When My Sons Were Little, I Was Working.

I Suggested A Compromise To Give The Banks A Year's Time And See If They Succeed In Showing Us That Nationalization Wasn't Necessary. The Year Went By And We Realized It Hadn't Done Any Good, That The Money Still Ended Up In The Hands Of The Rich Industrialists Or Friends Of The Bankers. So I Concluded That It Was Necessary To Nationalize The Banks. And We Did. Without Considering It A Socialist Gesture Or An Antisocialist Gesture, Just A Necessary One. Anyone Who Nationalizes Only So As To Be Considered On The Left To Me Is A Fool.

I Never Believed In The Danger Of A Third World War.
