Statement of 1951, in Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru Vol. 5 (1987), p. 321
“
I want to go rapidly towards my objective. But fundamentally even the results of action do not worry me so much. Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction. In my general outlook on life I am a socialist and it is a socialist order that I should like to see established in India and the world.
— Jawaharlal Nehru
