“Be Curious, Not Judgmental”
— Not Walt Whitman
Who said it? While similar expressions are found starting in the 1970s, the earliest confirmed use of this exact phrase is from an advice column in a January 1986 edition of the Charlotte Observer. Source: Snopes
“Be the change you want to see in the world”
— Not Mahatma Gandhi
Who said it? Almost every word that Gandhi wrote or said is recorded, so we can be sure this quote does not originate with him.
