More quotes by Jimmy Carter
I have never been happier, more exhilarated, at peace, rested, inspired, and aware of the grandeur of the universe and the greatness of God than when I find myself in a natural setting not much changed from the way He made it.
Jimmy Carter
In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.
Jimmy Carter
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
Jimmy Carter
I'd like to be remembered as someone who was a champion of peace and human rights.
Jimmy Carter
I don't think the Tea Party people are racist, except maybe a tiny portion of them. But there has been a deliberate effort - again, referring to Fox Broadcasting - to inject the race issue into it. They have actually called Obama a racist on television.
Jimmy Carter
But love must be aggressively translated into simple justice.
Jimmy Carter
I first came into the labor force in 1941 when the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour, and that was my first job. And each time that we've tried to boost the lower level of salary for the most underpaid workers, there have been predictions of catastrophe. But each time, in [m]y opinion, the change has helped our Nation and its economic strength.
Jimmy Carter
Acknowledging the physical realities of our planet does not mean a dismal future of endless sacrifice. In fact, acknowledging these realities is the first step in dealing with them. We can meet the resource problems of the world - water, food, minerals, farmlands, forests, overpopulation, pollution - if we tackle them with courage and foresight.
Jimmy Carter
If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
Jimmy Carter
The preeminent obstacle to peace is Israel's colonization of Palestine.
Jimmy Carter
I'm feeling better than anybody expected me to so I'm still maintaining a pretty normal schedule, I'd say.
Jimmy Carter
The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors.
Jimmy Carter
You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.
Jimmy Carter
The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.
Jimmy Carter
We cannot resort to simplistic or extreme solutions which substitute myths for common sense.
Jimmy Carter
It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians. If they did so, they couldn't be reelected.
Jimmy Carter
This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them.
Jimmy Carter
I have a very personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It doesn't depend on the fact that he can walk on water.
Jimmy Carter
Two problems of our country - energy and malaise.
Jimmy Carter
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Jimmy Carter
