"We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children." ― Jimmy Carter Topic(s): Peace More From Jimmy Carter "Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries." "I’ve just finished my 20th book this past year and I’m working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I’ll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research, I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I’m an artist too." "I don’t want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He’s a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach." More In Peace "Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."― Adam Smith "I think that it’s always appropriate for Americans and for American foreign policy to make clear why we feel that self-government is most compatible with peace, the well-being of people, and human dignity."― Jeane Kirkpatrick "They say in the grave there is peace, and peace and the grave are one and the same."― Georg Buchner
