Jimmy Carter died today at age 100. Just a few years ago, Jimmy Carter fell, was bruised and got 14 stitches, and still went to build homes for the homeless. Regardless of where you sit politically, this is one incredibly inspiring human being.

Peanut farmer turned president, Jimmy Carter passed more legislation in one term than most presidents do in two. Lesley Stahl said he was most proud that "there was peace for the four years that he was president." He died today at the age of 100.

At inflection points in history some leaders rise, others falter. Mikhail Gorbachev, who passed away today, rose to make our world safer. He was imperfect, as we all are. But he had a vision for stability over chaos and ultimately freedom over repression. We need more of that.
