Jimmy Carter: “America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense... human rights invented America.”
Jimmy Carter: “Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood.”
Jimmy Carter: “Every advance in this half-century-Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education, one after another-came with the support and leadership of American Labor.”
Jimmy Carter: “We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.”
Jimmy Carter: “Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.”
Jimmy Carter: “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- 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.”
Jimmy Carter: “We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.”
