About this quote

This dryly humorous observation divides people into those who put in the effort and those who take the glory. It highlights a common reality of human nature, particularly in workplaces and politics. The underlying message encourages quiet dedication, offering the practical advice to stay in the first group because there is far less competition there.

Indira Gandhi, India’s first female prime minister, often recalled this advice, attributing it to her grandfather, Motilal Nehru. It became one of her most famous remarks, reflecting her pragmatic view of public life and leadership.

People often hang this print in a study or home office for a touch of pragmatic humour at work.
