More quotes by Jimmy Carter
My wish is peace for Israel and for Israel's neighbors.
Jimmy Carter
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
Elvis was a symbol of the country's vitality, rebelliousness, and good humor.
Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter
A lot of the things that we passed in the energy policy were embedded in law, and they resulted in tremendous reductions in waste of energy in all kinds of things.
Jimmy Carter
Acknowledging the physical realities of our planet does not mean a dismal future of endless sacrifice. In fact, acknowledging these realities is the first step in dealing with them. We can meet the resource problems of the world - water, food, minerals, farmlands, forests, overpopulation, pollution - if we tackle them with courage and foresight.
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
I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president.
Jimmy Carter
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
At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.
Jimmy Carter
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
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 have never been disappointed when I asked in a humble and sincere way for God's help. I pray often. I think I pray more often since January 12th.
Jimmy Carter
Our Income Tax System is a disgrace to the human race.
Jimmy Carter
From the beginning, the United States has enjoyed close and valued ties with the Muslim world.
