"William Shakespeare said, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
One can achieve greatness only by one’s deeds and not by one’s birth. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, was such a great person.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was called ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ for his principles of non-violence, sacrifices for India’s independence and the concerted efforts he made for societal transformation.

Gandhi Ji followed what he preached and lived a life of idealism. Here are a few inspiring quotes by Mahatma Gandhi that acts like an eye opener.”

“A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.”
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.”
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
“An ounce of patience is worth more than a tonne of preaching.”
“Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.”
“Whatever you do will be insignificant. But it is very important that you do it.”
“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”"
