One of the surprising things that Brezhnev said when we were in our talks, was - when I proposed that we make these changes in nuclear weaponry, he said, God will never forgive us if we don't succeed. And, you know, coming from the leader of an atheistic communist country, this surprised everyone.
Jimmy Carter

It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus.

Jimmy Carter
