Quote by Jimmy Carter on Faith and Commitment

Jimmy Carter
Quote by Rudolf Virchow on Medicine and Politics as Social Science
“Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale. Medicine, as a social science, as the science of human beings, has the obligation to point out problems and to attempt their theoretical solution: the politician, the practical anthropologist, must find the means for their actual solution. The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and social problems fall to a large extent within their jurisdiction.”
Rudolf Virchow
Jimmy Carter on Peace and Lessons from War
“Southerners, whose ancestors a hundred years ago knew the horrors of a homeland devastated by war, are particularly determined that war shall never come to us again. All Americans understand the basic lessons of history: that we need to be resolute and able to protect ourselves, to prevent threats and domination by others.”
Jimmy Carter
Quote by Rudolf Virchow on the Meaning of Science
