The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices Picture Quote #1

If one of our fellow citizens can be executed with so much doubt surrounding his guilt, then the death penalty system in our country is unjust and outdated Picture Quote #1

The evidence shows that investing in women and girls delivers major benefits for society. An educated woman has healthier children. She is more likely to send them to school. She earns more and invests what she earns in her family Picture Quote #1

The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve never won an argument with my wife; and the only time I thought I had I found out the argument wasn’t over yet Picture Quote #1

Some major churches overemphasize the importance of preaching as a means to increase membership and fail to reach out with compassion to their neighbors in need Picture Quote #1

I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law Picture Quote #1

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity Picture Quote #1

Forgiving is one of the most difficult things for a human being to do, but I think it means looking at some slight you feel, putting yourself in the position of the other person, and wiping away any sort of resentment and antagonism you feel toward them. Then let that other person know that everything is perfectly friendly and normal between you Picture Quote #1

One of the most basic principles for making and keeping peace within and between nations... is that in political, military, moral, and spiritual confrontations, there should be an honest attempt at the reconciliation of differences before resorting to combat Picture Quote #1

We are grossly wasting our energy resources and other precious raw materials as though their supply were infinite. We must even face the prospect of changing our basic ways of living. This change will either be made on our own initiative in a planned and rational way, or forced on us with chaos and suffering by the inexorable laws of nature Picture Quote #1

It would be naïve to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace Picture Quote #1

In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted Picture Quote #1

There has never been any evidence that the death penalty reduces capital crimes or that crimes increased when executions stopped. Tragic mistakes are prevalent... It is clear that there are overwhelming ethical, financial, and religious reasons to abolish the death penalty Picture Quote #1

I would say the biggest handicap we have right now is some nutcases in our country that don’t believe in global warming. I think they are going to change their position because of pressure from individuals, because the evidence of the ravages of global warming is already there Picture Quote #1

I think that, regardless of our culture, age, or even personal handicaps, we can still strive for something exceptional. Why not expand our sights instead of restricting our lives and accepting the lowest common denominator of a dormant existence? Faith... will permit us to take a chance on a new path, perhaps different from the one we now follow. It may be surprising where it leads Picture Quote #1

Habitat has opened up unprecedented opportunities for me to cross the chasm that separates those of us who are free, safe, financially secure, well fed and housed, and influential enough to shape our own destiny from our neighbors who enjoy few, if any, of these advantages of life Picture Quote #1

Let us learn together and laugh together and work together and pray together, confident that in the end we will triumph together in the right Picture Quote #1

Being confident of our own future, we are now free of that inordinate fear of communism which once led us to embrace any dictator who joined us in that fear. I’m glad that that’s being changed Picture Quote #1

War and good health are incompatible. There’s no way we can go into an area that is at war Picture Quote #1

The proper function of a government is to make it easy for people to do good and difficult for them to do evil Picture Quote #1

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his Picture Quote #1
