More quotes by Jimmy Carter
When the laws are written and administered by the most powerful leaders in a society, it is human nature for them to understand, justify, and protect the interests of themselves and people like them. Many injustices arise from this natural human failing.
Jimmy Carter
It's important to meet with the people who can shape future events, and who might be causing a current problem. And to ignore them means that the problem will continue.
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
I'm an expert cook when it comes to preparing the quail, ducks, geese and wild turkeys that I hunt on the farm.
Jimmy Carter
America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy.
Jimmy Carter
Any system of economics is bankrupt if it sees either value or virtue in unemployment.
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
The reduction of nuclear arsenals and the removal of the threat of worldwide nuclear destruction is a measure, in my judgment, ofthe power and strength of a great nation.
Jimmy Carter
It's politically impossible for any member of Congress to make a public statement condemning or criticizing the policies of Israel. It would be political suicidal for them to do so.
Jimmy Carter
Habitat has opened up unprecedented opportunities for me to cross the chasm that separates those of us who are free, safe, financially secure, well fed and housed, and influential enough to shape our own destiny from our neighbors who enjoy few, if any, of these advantages of life.
Jimmy Carter
The first time I ever saw snow skis was when I was 62 years old and that was 19 years ago and I'm still skiing. So, we'll be skiing with some very close friends of the Carter Center letting them know what the Carter Center is doing around the world. We have programs in over 65 countries.
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
When I reflect upon my blessings during my very nice lifetime, I am inspired to make sure that I spend the balance of the days of my existence in a productive way.
Jimmy Carter
I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.
Jimmy Carter
I am pro-Israeli, not because of political expediency, but because I believe Israel is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
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 don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.
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
The respect for human rights is one of the most significant advantages of a free and democratic nation in the peaceful struggle for influence, and we should use this good weapon as effectively as possible.
Jimmy Carter
America has about three times as many abortions as they have in Norway, or Sweden, or Nordic countries, and they don't have any laws at all about abortion, but they care for women and infant children, which is a major cause for abortion.
Jimmy Carter
