Quote by Harry Browne

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war.

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker is of an older generation and has firsthand recollections of the end of World War II. It highlights their awareness of the historical significance of the date, August 14, 1946, as it marks the one-year anniversary of Japan's defeat. The mention of newspapers and magazines dedicating only a single article to commemorate this event suggests that the significance of the end of the war may have been fading in the public consciousness at that time.

I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip

I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it, but it was a matter of creating the political will.

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in storemakes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.I'll never reach my destination if I never try,So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away.To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied.Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.
