Jimmy Carter (1924- ) served as the 39th President of the USA from 1977-1981. He is unusual in that most commentators consider him to have been more influential and effective in his post presidency years than he was while president, a view reinforced by his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, more than 20 years after he was ousted from office. Known for his strong Christian commitment, this is our second look at some of this insights…
- We can’t be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms. Jimmy Carter
- If you don’t want your tax dollars to help the poor, then stop saying you want a country based on Christian values, because you don’t. Jimmy Carter
- The abuse of women and girls is the most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on earth. Jimmy Carter
- My faith demands that I do whatever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference. Jimmy Carter
