Mahatma Gandhi is known for his peaceful approach to violence, and his ability to forgive those who had wronged him. Here are 27 of Mahatma Gandhi's quotes to inspire us to do the same.
1. You must be the change you want to see in the world.
2. Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love.
3. Silence is the best answer to anger.
4. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

6. A ‘no’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
7. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
8. To believe in something and not live it is dishonest.
9. You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

25. An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind.
