Jimmy Carter8 quotes

A simple and a proper function of government is just to make it easy for us to do good and difficult for us to do wrong. — Jimmy Carter · 1976 I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do-and I have done it-and God forgives me for it. — Jimmy Carter · 1976 We have the heaviest concentration of lawyers on Earth-1 for every 500 Americans, three times as many as are in England, four times as many as are in West Germany, twenty-one times as many as are in West Germany, twenty-one times as many as there are in Japan. We have more litigation, but I am not sure that we have more justice. No resources of talent and training in our own society, even including the medical care, is more wastefully or unfairly distributed than legal skills. Ninety percent of our lawyer serves 10 percent of our people. We are over-lawyered and under-represented. — Jimmy Carter · 1978 We recall in special times when we have stood briefly, but magnificently, united. In those times no prize was beyond our grasp. — Jimmy Carter · 1977 Our Nation can be strong abroad only if it is strong at home. And we know that the best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation. — Jimmy Carter · 1977 We believe that the first time we're born, as children, it's human life given to us; and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, it's a new life. That's what "born again" means. — Jimmy Carter · 1979 All 8 quotes →
