About This Quote

When your position is one of peace, then you're truly powerful. In this quote, Gandhi was alluding to the fact that when a leader leads from a position of strength, they have the ability to create peace in an area. Gandhi further explained that the only way that a leader can obtain this type of power is by staying strong while they have this power. He said, “When your position is one of peace, then you're truly powerful.” The ability to remain steady while a leader has a great amount of power provides a sense of security and stability for the people. When a leader has a great amount of power and uses it to create peace in an area, their power is very strong and can be used to protect others from suffering at their hands.
