Actually, I just realized today that one of Ghandi's quotes was stolen from Schopenhauer. I remembered the Ghandi quote because thats what I used for my senior year yearbook thing.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur Schopenhauer

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."
Mahatma Gandhi

This actually leads me to wonder if it is a case of Gandhi stealing Schopenhauer's quote or if they both stole it from the same thing. (Schopenhauer studied Buddhism, but Gandhi was Hindu right? So I don't know what from if so.)
