More quotes by Jimmy Carter
For the first time in the history of our country the majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years.
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
You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.
Jimmy Carter
For me personally and for most other Americans, this commitment to peace and diplomacy does not imply a blind or total pacifism. There are times when war is justified, and for many centuries the moral criteria for violence have been carefully delineated.
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
We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.
Jimmy Carter
There's always enough to fill up the headlines in a newspaper, the evening news broadcasts. I'm always grateful when I get the weekly news magazines on Monday morning and don't see my picture on the front.
Jimmy Carter

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.

As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, and a professor at Emory University, I am embarrassed by Superintendent Kathy Cox's attempt to censor and distort the education of Georgia's students.... There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend our religious faith.
Jimmy Carter
I'm still, except for making overseas trips, I'm staying just about as busy as I ever did.
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
That difference between the rich and poor is growing every month.
Jimmy Carter
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter
If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
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
We consider these settlements to be contrary to the Geneva Convention, that occupied territory should not be changed by establishment of permanent settlements by the occupying power.
Jimmy Carter
On the basis of both values and interests, the natural relationship between Islam and the United States is one of friendship.
Jimmy Carter
The situation in Gaza is intolerable. Not one destroyed house has been rebuilt Ppl cannot live w the dignity they deserve
