“We must present democracy as a force holding within itself the seeds of unlimited progress by the human race. By our actions we should make it clear that such a democracy is a means to a better way of life, together with a better understanding among nations.”
– George C. Marshall –

On December 11, 1953, George C. Marshall spoke at the University of Oslo the day after he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. Marshall, like other military and civilian leaders of his era, understood better than many of us today both the dangers of authoritarianism as well as the price of peace. For some inspiration from the archives, Check out the text of his speech Essentials to Peace.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
