Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that merely talking about peace is insufficient; true conviction in the idea must be present. However, believing in peace is not adequate either; active effort must be put forth to achieve it. It suggests that mere words and beliefs do not create peace - rather, it necessitates dedication and action. To truly foster peace, one must actively work towards it, showing a genuine commitment to its principles.

Harry Potter is one boy in a long line of mythical heroes who have reminded the human race that we are so much more than we think we are, so much more powerful than we seem to know. Jesus said that we would someday do even greater works than He; should we not take Him at His word? And should not 'someday' be today?
