[b]Voltaire; Paine; Carlyle; and Gandhi's words (then a host of other notables):

Hope this helps.

Like I said:
"Do you know the context in which the 'My days are numbered..' quote was said? It reads like something either taken out of context or made up. Seems like he could easily be speaking of his political work if he actually said it. If this is true, then shame on those who have placed those words in a context which makes it seem like he is speaking of his spiritual life....The sites that did quote the text that I checked all seemed to be used in a context to promote a Christian agenda, promote an anti-atheist agenda, promote a right-wing agenda, etc. "
How would this possibly help? If you can't come up with anything, it seems reasonably safe to assume that some unscrupulous individual (likely Christian) either took Gandhi's words out of context or just made them up.
