"Some believe there is nothing one man or
one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against
misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the
world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of
a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general
extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young
woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who
discovered the New World, and 32 year old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed
that all men are created equal. 'Give me a place to stand,' said Archimedes,
'and I will move the world.' These men moved the world, and so can we all." |
