About this quote

Mahatma Gandhi on drive, action, and pushing past resistance, distilled into a single line: "A no uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please,...". It is one of the more shared lines in our motivation collection, and for good reason.

Motivation quotes work best when they are short enough to remember in the middle of a hard moment. A single line on your lock screen can pull you back into the right mindset faster than any productivity app.
