The blood of Abraham, God's father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God--an anguished cry for peace.

You can not divorce religious belief and public service. I've never detected any conflict between God's will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other.
Jimmy Carter
Image
You can already download any of the religious texts onto electronic mechanisms like a Kindle. But I think many people prefer to hold a book in their hands.
Jimmy Carter
Image
When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30,000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.

There was never any question about the morality of hunting, but neither was there any acceptance of killing for the sake of a trophy.
Jimmy Carter
Image
Each of us must rededicate ourselves to serving the common good. We are a community. Our individual Fates are linked our futures intertwined and if we act in that knowledge and in that spirit together, as the Bible says: We can move mountains.

Christmas has been a season of mixed interests and meanings, but the very foundation, of course, is its religious significance. No matter what other personal desires or crises we have faced, I've never forgotten that this is the time to celebrate the birth of the Baby Jesus, and the impact of this event on the history of the world.
