I actually captured his son’s remarks because I thought they were profound in this day and age.

can’t post them because they are linked to a specific campaign but I do think the sentiments of: fight for the right thing, leadership is about service not selfishness, that you can show strength and decency simultaneously and you can get a whole lot more done with a smile than a frown are universal and sadly lacking in all areas of society now.

What a truly honourable man.

President Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2002 for
his decades of untiring efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts to advance
democracy & human rights & to promote economics & social development.
His work for HABITAT for HUMANITY is unparalleled
That speaks for itself & yes, I'll just leave it at that..

One of the best Jimmy Carter stories: Garth Brooks and wife Trisha were in Haiti building houses with Habitat For Humanity. Not their first HFH rodeo but a brutal day, 100 degrees and 100% humidity. Garth finished sheeting a roof and decided to sit in the brand new shade for a minute or so. Just then President walked by, saw Garth sitting down and very seriously said "Do we need to find something for you to do?"

Per the NYT:

“A testament to Jimmy Carter’s incredible longevity: He outlived two of his obituary writers, at The New York Times and The Washington Post. Roy Reed, a Times correspondent who covered the South, died in 2017, at 87. Edward Walsh, a former Washington Post reporter who co-bylined The Post’s obit, died in 2014 at 71.”
