Gandhi said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Nope. He didn't. The line comes from a 1914 (or so) speech by a union activist named Nicholas Klein. It hopped to "Gandhi" for the same reason the wording got more jazzy over the years - better for propagation. Interestingly, there are signs that the correct attribution has started to win the internet. http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=gandhi+%22nicholas+klein%22 http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&#3...
