Happy birthday, Mahatma Gandhi!

The legendary Mahatma Gandhi would have been 146 years old today. He was the primary leader of India's independence movement, and he left an incredible legacy of non-violent civil disobedience which ultimately influenced people all around the world. In honor of his incredible peacemaking legacy, we compiled some of our favorite quotes of his:

• "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

• "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

• "An eye for an eye only ends up making the world blind."

• "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."

• "Where there is love there is life."

• "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

• "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

• "Nobody can hurt me without my permission."

• "Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances."
