Born this day in 1868, Mahatma Gandhi began a life that would change the history of India and the world. His non-violent activism and teachings continue to inspire us today.
I’m honoring his birthday by sharing 10 favorite quotes:
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.
Without action, you aren’t going anywhere.
A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ uttered merely to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
