"For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end"

- Hubert H. Humphrey

About this Quote

This quote by Hubert H. Humphrey talks to the power of the present generation. For the first time in history, one generation has the power to end time itself. This power is an outcome of the improvements in innovation and science that have actually been made recently. With the advancement of nuclear weapons, one generation has the power to ruin the past, the present, and the future. This power is a double-edged sword, as it can be utilized for both great and bad. On one hand, it can be used to secure and defend against threats, but on the other hand, it can be used to cause destruction and chaos. This quote serves as a reminder of the duty that comes with the power of the current generation, and the importance of using it sensibly.
