Jimmy Carter

The choice is going to be between the Democratic nominee and the Republican nominee, and I am convinced that the choice will be myself and that the voters will prove that I'm right.

The fee has been imposed for energy conservation reasons, but its revenue-raising effect cannot be ignored.

Our deepest joys together now are when the other members of our family can join us.

How many of our modern-day problems could be resolved if just a little could be done in each family to make it stronger?

I hope that we'll come out of this conference with a reaffirmation of families as the fundamental building blocks of our society.

American families have been tested. They've survived. They are strong.

I think regardless of any foreseeable circumstance, yes, that I will win reelection.

I also saw families, black and white, that worked hard, but never quite had enough.

I am returning H.R. 7428, the Public Debt Limit Extension Bill, without my signature.

I have no doubt that we can make our country a better place to rear a family.

I'm convinced that I will be nominated, and he's not convinced of that fact yet.

Family ties are based on more than blood kinship.

I believe it was the right decision when I made it, and I believe it is the right decision now.

I urge the Congress in the strongest possible terms to return an acceptable bill to my desk promptly.

We've always shared the same hard work, the same pleasures, the same pains, the same successes, the same failures, the same excitement, the same boredom with each other.

Unless and until we can control our appetite for imported oil, we will not be able to solve our inflation problem.

I'm absolutely convinced that a substantial majority of the delegates will vote for me as the nominee.

I certainly would think that now that the heat of the primary campaign is over that the personal debates and so forth would be minimized, yes.

Nevertheless, the oil import conservation fee is good public policy, and it is good common sense.

People need that love, just as surely as people need food and shelter, and air to breathe.

With the full imposition of the oil import conservation fee the United States would have a 14 cent per gallon tax, one of the lowest in the Western world.

I promised myself, when I entered politics, to help struggling families like that have a better chance.

We import too much oil.

I decided and announced to the public that I would impose an oil conservation fee on imported oil to this country.

This is not a popular decision.
