Quotes by Jimmy Carter

"We should live our lives as though Christ was coming this afternoon."

"Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries."

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce [28g] of marijuana."
