4 World-Changers Quotes from the Mapparium I speak to you today for the first time as Prime Minister, in a solemn hour in the life of our country and above all of the cause of freedom Winston Churchill It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it. Eleanor Roosevelt Peace cannot be achieved through violence. It can only be achieved through understanding. Albert Einstein An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Gandhi Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. Martin Luther King, Jr. You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea. Benazir Bhutto Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement! Nelson Mandela Ideas are mightier than fire and sword. Noiselessly they propagate themselves from land to land Helen Keller "And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he seas. And God saw that it was good." And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with Good night, good luck, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good earth. Frank Borman All my work, all my efforts, all my prayers and tears are for humanity, and the spread of peace and love among mankind. Mary Baker Eddy 4
