Jawaharlal Nehru

Every little thing counts in a crisis.

Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.

It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say.

A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.

Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit.

Great causes and little men go ill together.
