Edward R. Murrow:
[at Gandhi's funeral] The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived - a private boy without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of gerat armies nor ruler of vast lands. He could boast no scientific achievements or artistic gift.
Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little borwn boy in the loincloth who led his country to freedom.
Pope Pius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President Truman, Chiang Kai-shek, The Foreign Minisetr of Russia, the President of France... Are among the millions here and abroad who have lamneted his passing. In the wrods of General George C.
Marshall, the American Secretary of State, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of mankind, a boy who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." And Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
