In today’s world, some may look at Jimmy Carter and see a man of a bygone era — with honesty and character, faith and humility. But I don’t believe it’s a bygone era. I see a man not only of our times, but for all times. Someone who embodies the most fundamental human values we can never let slip away. … We may never see his like again. But we would all do well to try to be a little more like Jimmy Carter. – Joe Biden
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive. – C.S. Lewis
If your choices are beautiful, so too will you be. – Epictetus
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles. Jimmy Carter
Now we assign punishment to fit the criminal and not the crime. Jimmy Carter
