You have given me a great responsibility: to stay close to you, to be worthy of you and to exemplify what you are.
Jimmy CarterWe have the deepest respect and reverence for Islam and all who share the faith of Islam.
Jimmy CarterI have a great respect for the flag, (but) if the government passed a law saying that I had to pledge allegiance to the flag, I don't think I would do it. I've always felt that I lived in a country...where if I wanted to worship God as a Baptist, I could do so. If I were an atheist, I could be one. If I wanted to be a Catholic but was born a Jew, there's no condemnation...from a government authority.
