When asked for his message for the world, Gandhi responded with the now famous line, “My life is my message,” reflecting his lifelong struggle against violence.
As most of the world ignores or hypocritically celebrates Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s 147th birthday on the International Day of Nonviolence on October 2, some of us will quietly acknowledge his life by continuing to build the world that he envisioned.
Gandhi’s life was dotted with many memorable quotes but one that is less well known is this: “You may never know what results come of your actions but if you do nothing there will be no results.”
