Jimmy Carter
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
I believe strongly that in the eyes of God women and men should be the same and they should be given the same authority in the church, women should as men.
Jimmy Carter
Two problems of our country - energy and malaise.
Jimmy Carter
To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others.
Jimmy Carter
Quite often, the people who do leave their own nation and come to an unknown destination, like the United States, are inherently adventurous, so we've had that adventurous spirit that has embedded itself collectively in the American consciousness.
Jimmy Carter
I'm still, except for making overseas trips, I'm staying just about as busy as I ever did.
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 believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn't think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.
Jimmy Carter
It's very difficult for the American people to believe that our government, one of the richest on Earth, is also one of the stingiest on Earth.
Jimmy Carter
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
If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
Jimmy Carter
Harry Truman was courageous enough to command that racial segregation be ended in the military. I was serving in a submarine in the U.S. Navy at the time he issued the order.
Jimmy Carter
Ahmadinejad is just a buffoon, sort of a clown on the international scene who tries to be provocative so he can get his name in the paper and his face on television.
Jimmy Carter
I believe that we should do anything we can to minimize abortion and not to encourage it.
Jimmy Carter
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.
Jimmy Carter
Our laws were not designed to accommodate three or four thousand refugees coming here per day. Our laws were designed for people to be screened in a foreign country, carefully catalogued, and brought here a few at a time. This just didn't happen.
Jimmy Carter
I think a good husband has to depend on having a good wife.
Jimmy Carter
Billy Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be. I have participated in some of his crusades a couple of times in Atlanta. I've seen the profound impact he's had on me personally, and on other people who were not Christians and accepted Christ as Savior.
Jimmy Carter
The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.
