More quotes by 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
Whatever starts in California unfortunately has an inclination to spread.
Jimmy Carter
We cannot resort to simplistic or extreme solutions which substitute myths for common sense.
Jimmy Carter
[on the Republican party] A party with a narrow vision, a party that is afraid of the future.
Jimmy Carter
The government ought to stay out of the prayer business.
Jimmy Carter
Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.
Jimmy Carter
From the beginning, the United States has enjoyed close and valued ties with the Muslim world.
Jimmy Carter
In order for us human beings to commit ourselves personally to the inhumanity of war, we find it necessary first to dehumanize our opponents, which is in itself a violation of the beliefs of all religions. Once we characterize our adversaries as beyond the scope of God's mercy and grace, their lives lose all value.
Jimmy Carter
There should be an honest attempt at the reconciliation of differences before resorting to combat.
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
In retrospect, I can see that President Brezhnev was quite proud of the limited agreement that he had concluded in Vladivostok and to have a new American president come in and say, That is not good enough - let's do much more, and do it quite rapidly, took him by surprise.
Jimmy Carter
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.
Jimmy Carter
The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.
Jimmy Carter
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.
Jimmy Carter
It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus. Imperfect as it may be, there is no doubt that this can best be done through the United Nations, not merely to preserve peace but also to make change, even radical change, without violence.
Jimmy Carter
The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.
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
Great American power and responsibility are not unprecedented, and have been used with restraint and great benefit in the past. We have not assumed that super strength guarantees super wisdom, and we have consistently reached out to the international community to ensure that our own power and influence are tempered by the best common judgment.
Jimmy Carter
I enjoy walking by myself on the same paths where, as a little boy, I delighted in following my father around.
Jimmy Carter
I'm feeling better than anybody expected me to so I'm still maintaining a pretty normal schedule, I'd say.
Jimmy Carter
