| 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. 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. Every little thing counts in a crisis. I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere. Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will. Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people. The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds. The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly. We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. |
