Etched into a boulder is the following quote:
"EINSTEIN HAD THIS TO SAY OF GANDHI
A LEADER OF HIS PEOPLE, UNSUPPORTED BY ANY OUTWARD
AUTHORITY, A POLITICIAN WHOSE SUCCESS RESTS NOT UPON
CRAFT NOR THE MASTERY OF TECHNICAL DEVICES BUT SIMPLY ON
THE CONVINCING POWER OF HIS PERSONALITY, A VICTORIOUS
FIGHTER WHO HAS ALWAYS SCORNED THE USE OF FORCE, A MAN OF
WISOM AND HUMILITY, ARMED WITH RESOLVE, AND INFLEXIBLE
CONSISTENCY, WHO HAS DEVOTED ALL HIS STRENGTH TO THE
UPLIFTING OF HIS PEOPLE AND BETTERMENT OF THEIR LOT, A
MAN WHO HAS CONFRONTED THE BRUTALITY OF EUROPE WITH THE
DIGNITY OF THE SIMPLE HUMAN BEING AND THUS AT ALL TIMES
RISEN SUPERIOR.
GENERATIONS TO COME IT MAY BE, WILL SCARCE BELIEVE
SUCH A ONE AS THIS EVER IN FLESH AND BLOOD
WALKED UPON THIS EARTH.
- ALBERT EINSTEIN"
