Mahatma Gandhi is one of history's most inspirational and transformative figures. Gandhi was a fearless campaigner and he fought for the right and dignity of his people. He used non-violence as a tool to win over his enemies and left a mark on the world forever. He is remembered for his calm, courage and compassion in the face of oppression.

He was born as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2 in Porbander, Gujarat in the year 1869. Gandhi was an excellent listener and had a way with words. His used 'less is more' and his words make an impact even today.

Here are some of his most inspiring quotes:

• Be the change that you want to see in the world.
• A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.
• Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
• Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
• A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
• The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
• In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
• Hate the sin, love the sinner.
• Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
• To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
• You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them.
• Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
• You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
