Jawaharlal Nehru Quotes

The ideals and objectives of yesterday was still ideals of today, but they lost some of their luster and even, as one seemed to go towards them, they lost the shining beauty which had warmed the heart and vitalized the body. Evil triumphed often enough, but what was far worse was the coarsening and distortion of what seemed so right.

And, meanwhile , was every effort to change radically in the present or the near future doomed to failure
