More quotes by Jimmy Carter
I believe there is complete equality between men and women.
Jimmy Carter
Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of ... permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.
Jimmy Carter
We cannot resort to simplistic or extreme solutions which substitute myths for common sense.
Jimmy Carter
The heart and mind of every Muslim is affected by whether or not the Israel-Palestine issue is dealt with fairly.
Jimmy Carter
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Jimmy Carter
It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people, probably one of the greatest tragedies that ever befell any group. And there weren't any Nuremberg trials.
Jimmy Carter
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.
Jimmy Carter
The first step in providing economic equality for women is to ensure a stable economy in which every person who wants to work can work.
Jimmy Carter
One of our nation's greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower.
Jimmy Carter
I first came into the labor force in 1941 when the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour, and that was my first job. And each time that we've tried to boost the lower level of salary for the most underpaid workers, there have been predictions of catastrophe. But each time, in [m]y opinion, the change has helped our Nation and its economic strength.
Jimmy Carter
The major violence now is because of a plethora, explosion almost, of rebel groups, all of whom oppose the government, and they're fighting each other, strangely precipitated by the fact that the United Nations and African Union has now planned peace talks.
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 in the separation of church and state. The government has the right to say what happens in a civil case, like in a court house. And religious people have a right to say what happens in a church congregation. They are two completely separate things.
Jimmy Carter
In many courts, plea bargaining serves the convenience of the judge and the lawyers, not the ends of justice, because the courts simply lack the time to give everyone a fair trial.
Jimmy Carter
I think the only way that political system can be corrected is for the American people to see very vividly that it needs repair. If things are going to worse in the future, the American people, in every congressional district in the land, might demand that reforms take place in the political system.
Jimmy Carter
If I should ever decide in the future to discuss my deep Christian beliefs and condemnation and sinfulness, I would use another forum besides Playboy.
Jimmy Carter
I think a good husband has to depend on having a good wife.
Jimmy Carter
Adjust to changing times but sticking to unchanging principles - committing me and all Americans to real ideals of justice and truth, no matter what difficulties faced us.
Jimmy Carter
I've used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I've still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.
Jimmy Carter
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
Jimmy Carter
