'He Practised the Good'
"We pay homage to Jimmy Carter, a profoundly decent man, devoted peacemaker, and unwavering human rights advocate who 'redefined what a post-presidency could be' over decades of acting on his principles, and thus 'taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service.' Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia at age 100. A heartfelt tribute from one grateful American: 'Rest well, Good Man. You earned it.'"
"The only Georgian ever elected to the White House, Carter took office in the sordid shadow of Watergate's lies and quickly promised voters he would always tell the truth. 'And he did, consequences be damned,' wrote Barack Obama. 'He believed some things were more important than reelection - things like integrity, respect, and compassion.' Noting that Carter 'believed, as deeply as he believed anything, that we are all created in God’s image,' Obama quoted Carter's 2002 acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize: 'God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace.' Added Obama, 'He made that choice again and again over the course of his 100 years, and the world is better for it.'"
