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

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.

The most important Bible teaching that I remembered when I was in the Navy and when I was Commander-in-Chief, was that we worshipped The Prince of Peace. Jesus Christ is The Prince of Peace. So, I considered myself, as a submarine officer, as helping to preserve the peace. And I felt the same way when I was president.

My wish is peace for Israel and for Israel's neighbors.

Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land.

George Bush asked me if there was anything he could do for me, and I said, Yes, you can help promote peace in Sudan after eight years of different policy. And he said, I'll do it. So to make a long story short, he did it, not necessarily because I requested it, but they were very successful.
