More quotes by Jimmy Carter
Although military, economic and political strength certainly favors the more powerful side, the matter of simple justice is a counterbalancing factor.
Jimmy Carter
My life since the White House has been much more all-encompassing, much more enjoyable. The main thing that I've acquired has been access to the poorest and most destitute, forgotten, and suffering people on Earth. It's not possible for a President to actually know them.
Jimmy Carter
I think the most challenging thing for me in my life and in the Bible is that we worship Jesus as the Prince of Peace.

We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.

Jimmy Carter
I believe those passages in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.
Jimmy Carter
My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.
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
Homosexuality was massively practiced in some of the conflicting religions at the time of Christ and even at the time of Christ, in Roman times show that homosexuality was widely prevalent. I think it's quite significant that Jesus never did mention it.
Jimmy Carter
I thought a lot about our Nation and what I should do as President. And Sunday night before last, I made a speech about two problems of our countryenergy and malaise.
Jimmy Carter
I believe there is complete equality between men and women.
Jimmy Carter
