More quotes by Jimmy Carter
I guess my biggest failure was not getting re-elected. And I learned two things one is that you ought not to ever let American hostages be held for 444 days in a foreign country without extracting them. I did the best I could, but I failed.
Jimmy Carter
Homosexuality was massively practiced in some of the conflicting religions at the time of Christ and even at the time of Christ, in Roman times show that homosexuality was widely prevalent. I think it's quite significant that Jesus never did mention it.
Jimmy Carter
Habitat gives us an opportunity which is very difficult to find: to reach out and work side by side with those who never have had a decent home-but work with them on a completely equal basis. It's not a big-shot, little-shot relationship. It's a sense of equality.
Jimmy Carter
God always answers prayer, sometimes with a yes, sometimes with a no and sometimes with a 'You've got to be kidding!'
Jimmy Carter
I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.
Jimmy Carter
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
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
I remember the last three days that I was president, I never went to bed at all. I never went to bed until we had negotiated the final release of the hostages.
Jimmy Carter
But love must be aggressively translated into simple justice.
Jimmy Carter
I have a very real political awareness that at least on a transient basis the more drastic action taken by the president, the more popular it is.
Jimmy Carter
I believe that we should do anything we can to minimize abortion and not to encourage it.
Jimmy Carter
The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.
Jimmy Carter
I just look at death as not a threat. It's inevitable, and I have an assurance of eternal life.
Jimmy Carter
There should be an honest attempt at the reconciliation of differences before resorting to combat.
Jimmy Carter
This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them.
Jimmy Carter
I think the most challenging thing for me in my life and in the Bible is that we worship Jesus as the Prince of Peace.
Jimmy Carter
When your troops go to war, the prime minister or the president change overnight from an administrator, dealing with taxation and welfare and health and deteriorating roads, into the commander-in-chief. And it's just become almost unpatriotic to describe Bush's fallacious and ill-advised and mistaken and sometimes misleading actions.
Jimmy Carter
The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors.
Jimmy Carter
I'd like to be remembered as someone who was a champion of peace and human rights.
Jimmy Carter
I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.
