More quotes by Jimmy Carter
Each of us must rededicate ourselves to serving the common good. We are a community. Our individual Fates are linked our futures intertwined and if we act in that knowledge and in that spirit together, as the Bible says: We can move mountains.
Jimmy Carter
I have a great deal of confidence in myself and in my faith.
Jimmy Carter
The stronger the ties that bind us to God, the more likely we are to live, react, and behave in harmony with...greater joy, peace, and happiness.
Jimmy Carter
I can get up at 8am and be rested... or I can get up at 5am and be President.
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
You have given me a great responsibility: to stay close to you, to be worthy of you and to exemplify what you are.
Jimmy Carter
As far as being in dangerous situations around the world is concerned, I always have a Secret Service detail with me as one of the privileges of a former President.
Jimmy Carter
Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.
Jimmy Carter
When I feel something very intensely or deeply or personally, I can go to extremes of self-expression or self-analysis by writing a poem - more than I can just talking to somebody or writing prose.
Jimmy Carter
The most important Bible teaching that I remembered when I was in the Navy and when I was Commander-in-Chief, was that we worshipped The Prince of Peace. Jesus Christ is The Prince of Peace. So, I considered myself, as a submarine officer, as helping to preserve the peace. And I felt the same way when I was president.
Jimmy Carter
You can already download any of the religious texts onto electronic mechanisms like a Kindle. But I think many people prefer to hold a book in their hands.
Jimmy Carter
For the first time in the history of our country the majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years.
Jimmy Carter
Nearly all inmates are drawn from the ranks of the powerless and the poor. A child of privilege frequently receives the benefit of the doubt a child of poverty seldom does.
Jimmy Carter
To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others.
Jimmy Carter
It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people, probably one of the greatest tragedies that ever befell any group. And there weren't any Nuremberg trials.
Jimmy Carter
There's always enough to fill up the headlines in a newspaper, the evening news broadcasts. I'm always grateful when I get the weekly news magazines on Monday morning and don't see my picture on the front.
Jimmy Carter
In many courts, plea bargaining serves the convenience of the judge and the lawyers, not the ends of justice, because the courts simply lack the time to give everyone a fair trial.
Jimmy Carter
I'd like to be remembered as someone who was a champion of peace and human rights.
Jimmy Carter
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter
Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.
