More quotes by Jimmy Carter

Harry Truman was courageous enough to command that racial segregation be ended in the military. I was serving in a submarine in the U.S. Navy at the time he issued the order.
Jimmy Carter
Image
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
Image
Thoughtful criticism and close scrutiny of all government officials by the press and the public are an important part of our democratic society.
Jimmy Carter
Image
When I reflect upon my blessings during my very nice lifetime, I am inspired to make sure that I spend the balance of the days of my existence in a productive way.
Jimmy Carter
Image
The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I can get up at 8am and be rested... or I can get up at 5am and be President.

To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others.
Jimmy Carter
Image
We know that a peaceful world cannot long exist, one-third rich and two-thirds hungry.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I can't really criticize the Tea Party people, because I came into the White House pretty much on the same basis that they have become popular. That is dissatisfaction with the way things are going in Washington and disillusionment and disencouragement about the government.
Jimmy Carter
Image
My life since the White House has been much more all-encompassing, much more enjoyable. The main thing that I've acquired has been access to the poorest and most destitute, forgotten, and suffering people on Earth. It's not possible for a President to actually know them.
Jimmy Carter
Image
It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus. Imperfect as it may be, there is no doubt that this can best be done through the United Nations, not merely to preserve peace but also to make change, even radical change, without violence.
Jimmy Carter
Image
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
Image
There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me.
Jimmy Carter
Image
America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy.
Jimmy Carter
Image
Although military, economic and political strength certainly favors the more powerful side, the matter of simple justice is a counterbalancing factor.
Jimmy Carter
Image
My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.
Jimmy Carter
Image
The preeminent obstacle to peace is Israel's colonization of Palestine.
Jimmy Carter
Image
What are the things that you can't see that are important? I would say justice, truth, humility, service, compassion, love...They're the guiding lights of a life.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.
Jimmy Carter
Image
The major violence now is because of a plethora, explosion almost, of rebel groups, all of whom oppose the government, and they're fighting each other, strangely precipitated by the fact that the United Nations and African Union has now planned peace talks.
