RE: Be The Change and Change Your World
Gandhi said, "We must be the change, we want to be in the world". Cutting the words "we must", completely changes the maning of the saying.

Also he apparently didn't say it the way you claim ether, this is what he was supposed to have said
"We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.20 As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Basically, the bumper sticker version is more eloquent and meaningful than Gandhi.
Other than making it obligitory, I don't see very much difference.
