God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily.
Jimmy CarterI wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World.
Jimmy CarterI 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 CarterI advocate the modification of the '67 borders to let about half of the Israeli stay in Palestine.
Jimmy CarterWe have the deepest respect and reverence for Islam and all who share the faith of Islam.
Jimmy CarterAll 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.
