When Ken Burns asked every living president to recite the Gettysburg Address in 2013, Pres. Carter shared this story about Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the Camp David Accords. (2023) @UNUMKenBurns

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.

February 11, 2019

To Matthew:

Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.

With best wishes,

Jimmy Carter.

What’s so stupid is it was so obvious. And these idiots still voted him in. Against everything they believe. Just cause they didn’t want to see a black womsn be president. I’m just so tired of it being right in our face. And refuse to see it. We are in trouble!
