Jimmy Carter

We need confidence in our Nation.

I've never found any difference between what was best for this region compared to what is best for the entire United States.

I'm really glad to be home in the South.

The American people are not simpleminded; they've not given up on this country nor its values.

We must have a strong defense in order to keep our Nation at peace.

I have not ordered a single American soldier into combat in the last 3 1/2 years.

I want you to be as good a President for North Carolina as Jim Hunt would be if he was in the Oval Office.

The best weapon is the weapon that's never fired in combat.

The Democratic Party is a party of competence and commitment and compassion.

Peace is no accident.

The situation in our Nation now is much better than we generally are willing to acknowledge.

This is a beautiful place—isn't it?

This year, as you all know, is a very important election year.

I need for you to set as your goal an all-out commitment to success for the Democratic ticket on November the 4th.

We have never failed to overcome the most insurmountable obstacle.

I'm really glad to be here with you.

Our cities have been put back on their feet.

I want a nation strong and at peace.

I might point out to you that the future is bright if we manage our affairs soundly.

We've got 26 days to get ready to whip the Republicans, from the courthouse to the White House, on November the 4th.

That's a great question.

It's the greatest elective office in the free world, certainly, perhaps the entire world.

We face critical choices.

Our Nation militarily is the strongest nation on Earth, and we will never be second to any nation on Earth.

I know that America's builders are ready to build again, not tear down.
