More quotes by Jimmy Carter
We have the deepest respect and reverence for Islam and all who share the faith of Islam.
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
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
I'm an expert cook when it comes to preparing the quail, ducks, geese and wild turkeys that I hunt on the farm.
Jimmy Carter
We don't have any problem finding enough things to do the problem we have is making sure we don't overload ourselves inadvertently.
Jimmy Carter
I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president.
Jimmy Carter
In the United States, you might say every county has got its own separate system. There's not even one kind of ballot that you use all over the United States. We require that in a foreign country.
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
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Jimmy Carter
I can't really criticize the Tea Party people, because I came into the White House pretty much on the same basis that they have become popular. That is dissatisfaction with the way things are going in Washington and disillusionment and disencouragement about the government.
Jimmy Carter
In many courts, plea bargaining serves the convenience of the judge and the lawyers, not the ends of justice, because the courts simply lack the time to give everyone a fair trial.
Jimmy Carter
I think a good husband has to depend on having a good wife.
Jimmy Carter
It's politically impossible for any member of Congress to make a public statement condemning or criticizing the policies of Israel. It would be political suicidal for them to do so.
Jimmy Carter
I don't think there's going to be peace as long as Israel is occupying land that belongs to the Palestinians, to Lebanon and to Syria.
Jimmy Carter
America has always been a country of innovation and dynamism, entrepreneurship. And I think that one of the things that has made our country great too is its heterogeneous population where people come here from all over the world.
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
Thoughtful criticism and close scrutiny of all government officials by the press and the public are an important part of our democratic society.
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
During the 1960s, we used twice as much oil as during the 1950s. And in each of those decades, more oil was consumed than in all of mankind's previous history.
Jimmy Carter
I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.
