More quotes by 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
I think my wife ... is sure of my loyalty.... She knows how hard I work. She knows how tired I am every night. She knows I have fifty or sixty reporters watching me day and night.
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 no way to have a peace agreement unless the mediator or negotiator looks at both sides from an equal basis.
Jimmy Carter
There needs to be a similar degree of flexibility and generosity in the recognition of the humaneness and worth of people who we generally consider as adversaries.
Jimmy Carter
The respect for human rights is one of the most significant advantages of a free and democratic nation in the peaceful struggle for influence, and we should use this good weapon as effectively as possible.
Jimmy Carter
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.
Jimmy Carter
Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land.
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
When I speak at my local church, which I try to do 35 to 40 times a year, I try in every lesson to take the Old Testament text or New Testament text and apply them to what is happening to me or how that applies to the audience that I'm teaching in a modern, fast-changing, technological world. I use headlines, interfaith and that sort of thing.
Jimmy Carter
This is the first national administration we've ever seen where the housewife couldn't afford to buy groceries and the farmer couldn't afford to grow them.
Jimmy Carter
Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.
Jimmy Carter
We must make it clear that a platform of 'I hate gay men and women' is not a way to become president of the United States.
Jimmy Carter
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.
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
We believe that the first time we're born, as children, it's human life given to us and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, it's a new life. That's what born again means.
Jimmy Carter
I can't think of a man more worthy of the presidency then my good friend Sam Nunn.
Jimmy Carter
(Doctors) collectively have done more to block adequate medical care for people of this country than any other single group.
Jimmy Carter
Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of ... permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.
Jimmy Carter
I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law.
