As today is Gandhi's birthday, it seems fitting to share some of Mohandas Gandhi's most famous quotes.
"I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life."
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

File this one under "Oh, snap!": (When asked what he thought of Western civilization) "I think it would be a good idea.
"Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature."
This one is my favorite: "Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy."
More Gandhi quotes here, but you can find them pretty much anywhere.

I wished more would try to follow in his foot steps.
Good quotes, humanity has a long way to go still. Should we ever get there before destroying our self's remains an open question coming to a closure.
