Pardon me for the non-english characters.  I simply forgot. 

Be the change (that) you wish to see in the world. 

(word-for-word:
  Estu la sxangxo ke vi deziras vidi en la mondo.

I included "ke" (that), which was not actually in the English version where I
found it. Do you suppose Gandhi was speaking English, or something else, when
he first said (or wrote) it?

In Esperanto, that that is necessary. 

I also debated whether to use deziri, or vidi.  What do you think?
