Gandhi Jayanti 2018: ‘In a gentle way, you can shake the world’ here are some powerful quotes by Mahatma Gandhi that will shake you

India’s Father of the Nation Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is being celebrated all over the country today. It’s his 150th birth anniversary. Gandhi, who was born on October 2, 1869, is remembered for leading India’s freedom struggle against the British.

Gandhi’s role in the Quit India movement in 1942 has been widely recognized and lauded. He had led the non-cooperation movement in 1920. His credo of non-violence has been accepted in the world that is why the United Nations also celebrates October 2 as the International Day of Non-Violence to honour Gandhi’s faith and non-violence.

Gandhi generally abstained from the violence and he professed non-violence or ahimsa and asserted on its significance. He also fought against the practice of untouchability.

Here are the powerful quotes by Mahatma Gandi:

*Be the change that you want to see in the world.
*Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
* The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
* Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
*If you want real peace in the World, start with Children.
*The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
*In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
*Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.
*The future depends on what you do today.
