More quotes by Jimmy Carter
I think there's an awakening now of a realization that we too early congratulated ourselves on the end of racial prejudice and white supremacy. And that was a feeling that we had when I was president, that we had pretty much overcome that problem.
Jimmy Carter
One of my greatest pleasures is being on the farmland that's been in the family since 1833.
Jimmy Carter
My favourite president, and the one I admired most, was Harry Truman.
Jimmy Carter
What are the things that you can't see that are important? I would say justice, truth, humility, service, compassion, love...They're the guiding lights of a life.
Jimmy Carter
It's clear that the true problems of our Nation are much deeper - deeper than gasoline lines of energy shortages, deeper even than inflation or recession. And I realize more than ever that as President I need your help. So, I decided to reach out and listen to the voices of America.
Jimmy Carter
We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
Jimmy Carter
Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself
Jimmy Carter
Elvis was a symbol of the country's vitality, rebelliousness, and good humor.
Jimmy Carter
We cannot resort to simplistic or extreme solutions which substitute myths for common sense.
Jimmy Carter
I believe in the separation of church and state. The government has the right to say what happens in a civil case, like in a court house. And religious people have a right to say what happens in a church congregation. They are two completely separate things.
Jimmy Carter
No poor, rural, weak, or black person should ever again have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity for an education, a job, or simple justice.
Jimmy Carter
You can not divorce religious belief and public service. I've never detected any conflict between God's will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other.
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'm a peanut farmer at heart, still grow peanuts on my farm in Georgia.
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
Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.
Jimmy Carter
The evidence shows that investing in women and girls delivers major benefits for society. An educated woman has healthier children. She is more likely to send them to school. She earns more and invests what she earns in her family.
Jimmy Carter
I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over.
Jimmy Carter
Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.
Jimmy Carter
Any system of economics is bankrupt if it sees either value or virtue in unemployment.
