About This Quote

Leaders fight hard wars against injustice and unfairness. They believe that the truth is a weapon, when triggered, the lie dies. This quote was written by Mahatma Gandhi. The meaning behind it can be summed up in one word: courage.

Leaders, like the great Mahatma, are not afraid to speak the truth. And, when they do, they are not afraid to see their words die. They stand up for what’s right, even if it means they will be misunderstood or attacked for their actions.
