This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them.

Jimmy Carter
Faith implies a continuing search, not necessarily a final answer.
Jimmy Carter
It's important to meet with the people who can shape future events, and who might be causing a current problem. And to ignore them means that the problem will continue.
Jimmy Carter
Americans long thought that nature could take care of itself-or that if it did not, the consequences were someone else's problem. As we know now, that assumption was wrong none of us is a stranger to environmental problems.
