I have one life and one chance to make it count for something... My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.

If you're totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it's so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

We have the deepest respect and reverence for Islam and all who share the faith of Islam.

To work for better understanding among people, one does not have to be a former president sitting at a fancy conference room table. Peace can be made in the neighborhoods, the living rooms, the playing fields, and the classrooms of our country.

All my playmates were black. I lived in a little community called Archery (ph) in a rural area. And I didn't have any white neighbors at all. So all my kids with whom I fought and wrestled and went fishing and worked in the field and so forth were African-Americans. And that was my life. So when I got to be school age, we had to separate during the daytime, but I always felt like I was in an alien environment when I was in Plains, Georgia with white kids. I was eager to get back where I belonged with my black playmates.

I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.
