Quoting Gandhi

Gandhi was a very influential person in history so it's no surprise that he had a quote that was misquoted. “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.” This is what Gandhi originally said and the quote today has been changed to "Be the change you wish to see in the world." I think the quote was changed to this because people were having a hard time understanding what Gandhi originally said. So by changing it people could better understand it which should've made it more inspiring. It's always a shame to see people's quotes be misquoted but in a case like this it's not always a bad thing. Yes the quote is different but i'm sure it has inspired many people throughout the world.
