It is often just as important to be perceived as something as actually to be that something and, as a matter of fact, a candidate need not be anything ideologically at all.
Jimmy Carter
Image
On Saint Paul, he's probably one of the best theologians of all time, but I don't believe that some of his teachings are appropriate today.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens. As Americans, we are blessed with circumstances that protect our human rights and our religious freedom, but for many people around the world, deprivation and persecution have become a way of life.

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

Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but rather by what one owns.
Jimmy Carter
Image
No matter where you go in the world in any country in Africa or Latin America and other place, you will find that China is very deeply involved in the affairs of that country.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I’m not in favor of the government mandating a prayer in school because our country was founded on the fact that no particular religious faith would have ascendance over or preferential treatment over any other.
Jimmy Carter
Image
America has always been a country of innovation and dynamism, entrepreneurship. And I think that one of the things that has made our country great too is its heterogeneous population where people come here from all over the world.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I have a lot of pleasures but I don't feel guilty about them.
Jimmy Carter
Image
The first step in providing economic equality for women is to ensure a stable economy in which every person who wants to work can work.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I just look at death as not a threat. It's inevitable, and I have an assurance of eternal life.
Jimmy Carter
Image
When your troops go to war, the prime minister or the president change overnight from an administrator, dealing with taxation and welfare and health and deteriorating roads, into the commander-in-chief. And it's just become almost unpatriotic to describe Bush's fallacious and ill-advised and mistaken and sometimes misleading actions.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I thought a lot about our Nation and what I should do as President. And Sunday night before last, I made a speech about two problems of our countryenergy and malaise.
Jimmy Carter
Image
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.
Jimmy Carter
Image
We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.
Jimmy Carter
Image
But love must be aggressively translated into simple justice.
Jimmy Carter
Image
Always tell the truth, and take an interest in serving the people around you as much as possible.
Jimmy Carter
Image
America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense human rights invented America.
Jimmy Carter
Image
