Jimmy Carter: “The issue we face is not whether we should be strong; the issue is how we will be strong.”

Our great nation now teeters on the brink of a widening abyss. Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

We look on human rights as an ability to live in peace. And to believe that your future will be better than your past might be.

All of us must learn to waste less energy.

All of us owe them our gratitude and respect.
