I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'

Man is so made that if he is told often enough that he is a fool he believes it.

Blaise Pascal

Lazy people are always anxious to be doing something.

Marquis De Vauvenargues

There couldn't be better parents than mine, loving yet strict. They disciplined with love. A child without discipline is, in away, a lost child. You cannot have freedom without discipline.

Ricardo Montalban

But the ability to articulate what you are doing, to be clear about it, and to stick to it is, I think, the essence of political leadership.

Chris Patten

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

Senator Jesse Helms

Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.

Maya Lin

I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

If you eat something and get fat, you should be responsible for it. I think that is the attitude of the great majority of Americans, that you should be responsible for what you eat.

Vic Snyder

Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.

Paulo Coelho

In my end is my beginning.

Mary Stuart

I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.

Albert Camus

When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different.

George Santayana
