Scholars have traced the phrasing to a Brooklyn schoolteacher named Arleen Lorrance, writing in 1974. What Gandhi did write — in 1913 — was this: \u003cem\u003e\"If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. We need not wait to see what others do.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eClose enough that his family insists it was his.
