Jimmy Carter Quotes

And every one of the human rights heroes - I'll use the word - who have come out of the Soviet Union, have said it was a turning point in their lives, and not only in the Soviet Union but also in places like Czechoslovakia and Hungary and Poland they saw this human rights policy of mine as being a great boost to the present democracy and freedom that they enjoy.
