A ubiquitous inspirational line attributed to Gandhi across quote databases, but no dated primary (CWMG/Young India/Harijan) confirms it; here also non-English.
Likely origin: Spanish rendering of 'Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.'; widely credited to Gandhi but no confirmed primary source located.

Raw physical power fades and can always be outmatched; what actually carries a person through is the refusal to quit. Will keeps someone moving after the body is tired and the odds look bad — it's the one resource that doesn't run out when strength does.
When to use it
- A recovering patient rebuilds mobility through stubborn daily practice, not natural athleticism.
- A small shop survives a downturn on the owner's refusal to fold, not on deep pockets.
- A student with a learning disability outlasts classmates through sheer persistence.
