Online tributes have been rolling in for former President Jimmy Carter, after it was announced that the 98-year-old statesman would enter hospice care at home following a recent series of short hospital stays.
Politicians, celebrities, organizations and more have been heaping praise on the one-term Democrat who continued leading a life of public service long after he left the White House.
"Jimmy Carter is one of the kindest most thoughtful people I've ever had the honor of meeting," comedian and writer Jon Stewart said. "He's the best of us."
Former comedian-turned-senator Al Franken simply said Carter was the "greatest ex-president. By far."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Carter was a little-known Georgia governor when he began his bid for the presidency ahead of the 1976 election. He went on to defeat Ford, capitalizing as a Washington outsider in the wake of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal that drove Richard Nixon from office in 1974.
Carter served a single, tumultuous term and was defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980, a landslide loss that ultimately paved the way for his decades of global advocacy for democracy, public health and human rights via The Carter Center.
The former president and his wife, Rosalynn, 95, opened the center in 1982. His work there garnered a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002."
