AI explanation

This tribute — "Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth" — is widely attributed to Albert Einstein, written in praise of Mahatma Gandhi's moral character and nonviolent philosophy. Einstein greatly admired Gandhi despite never meeting him in person. Churchill, in contrast, was famously critical of Gandhi during his lifetime, making him an unlikely source of this quote.
