Gandhi. His life and message for the world

Pocket, 189 pp., index, with 8 pages of photos. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948). Gandhi did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, although he was nominated five times between 1937 and 1948, though he made the short list only twice, in 1937 and 1947. Decades later, the Nobel Committee publicly declared its regret for the omission, and admitted to deeply divided nationalistic opinion denying the award. Gandhi was nominated in 1948 but was assassinated before nominations closed.

Quotes: • "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." • "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
