More quotes by Jimmy Carter
I believe in the separation of church and state. The government has the right to say what happens in a civil case, like in a court house. And religious people have a right to say what happens in a church congregation. They are two completely separate things.
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
I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world, I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.
Jimmy Carter
Jesus never mentions abortion. But I think that Jesus did care for the unborn child, I think that Jesus did care for people who were completely helpless, who depend on others for their life and livelihood. I just believe that this should be minimized if possible.
Jimmy Carter
Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but rather by what one owns.
Jimmy Carter
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
I am convinced that UFOs exist because I've seen one.
Jimmy Carter
I think the only way that political system can be corrected is for the American people to see very vividly that it needs repair. If things are going to worse in the future, the American people, in every congressional district in the land, might demand that reforms take place in the political system.
Jimmy Carter
Nobody knows when you make an effort or when you plant a seed if it will bear fruit or not.
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
There's no way to have a peace agreement unless the mediator or negotiator looks at both sides from an equal basis.
Jimmy Carter
America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy.
Jimmy Carter
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
I believe that the boycott that we have against Cuba is counterproductive, and it also makes the twelve million or so Cuban people suffer unnecessarily just because of a foolish policy of the United States.
Jimmy Carter
We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.
Jimmy Carter
Thomas Jefferson declared, stating that he was speaking on behalf of the other founding fathers, ...(that) we should build a wall between the church and state.
Jimmy Carter
There's no doubt that the Christian right has gone to bed with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party. And there's been a melding in their goals when it comes to the separation of church and state. I've always believed in the separation of church and state.
Jimmy Carter
Always tell the truth, and take an interest in serving the people around you as much as possible.
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
People make a big fuss over you when you're President. But I'm very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn't go to my head.
Jimmy Carter
