Carter Quotations | Page 2

The stocks were better performers during the Clinton administration than they were during the Bush period. The stocks actually performed well in the second half of the Carter administration. And in the whole second term of Reagan administration they were pretty awful.

Now I can appreciate Joe Carter and Kirby Puckett and all those guys. Because this was the exact same thing.

Dean feels that there are few things that could be more appropriate the day before the Iowa caucus than attend Sunday school and church with Jimmy Carter. Carter has been very, very friendly to us. He really likes the governor. But the direct words out of his mouth have been that he's not going to endorse anyone in the '04 race. We're still talking to him, but we've pretty much accepted that he's not going to do it.

Anson Carter is a highly skilled, versatile player who we feel will play a very significant role on our team this season. He is a very intelligent player who brings a strong presence and leadership qualities.

You're a big man but you're in bad shape' from Get Carter

It was simply impossible to support Carter for reelection in 1980 and easy for me to support Reagan. The Reagan campaign was happy to have Democratic support, and the Reagan administration was happy to have Democrats in it; they took the view that, after all, Reagan himself had been a Democrat, so it was not a strike against you.

David (Duchovny) and I and (creator/producer) Chris Carter have been excited about and determined to do the next 'X Files' movie. I think it would be a huge amount of fun to get together in kind of a reunion situation and just make a really good, really scary film.

Damnedest thing I ever saw in my life. I believe Joe Carter might have taken the centerpiece of the ball. The umpire didn't know what to do, so they gave him a single.

The ball came out of the midfield and it skimmed of one of the defenders. Josh Carter was able to out-run one of their players onto the ball and he and laid it across and Adam finished it.

It's really remarkable how well Janette carried on her family's legacy by helping create the Carter Fold and what that has grown into from such humble beginnings. Thanks to the foundation she built with the Carter Fold, her family legacy lives on.

I like Carter to play games in. I don't like the fact that we're at a severe disadvantage because we don't have a practice facility. I've virtually practiced every hour on the clock except midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. I've been in the gym at every other hour.

Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul.

If Vince Carter decides to leave the Toronto Raptors, this is an entirely different team. But I'm sure the Raptors wouldn't let Vince leave without getting something in return.

In the last 100 years only Presidents George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford lost their bids for reelection. President Lyndon Johnson did not run for a second term.

In the post-Watergate atmosphere of 1975 and 1976, the just-plain-folks personalities of both Ford and Carter seemed the perfect antidote to Nixon's arrogant, isolated presidency. But as alert history-minded readers know, Ford and Carter were both rebuffed by voters in their efforts to hold on to the presidency.

In the past, the U.S. has shown its capacity to reinvent its gifts for leadership. During the 1970s, in the aftermath of the Nixon abdication and the Ford and Carter presidencies, the whole nation peered into the abyss, was horrified by what it saw and elected Ronald Reagan as president, which began a national resurgence.

I guess we're just in an indefinite holding pattern, ... It's about Chris Carter and Fox coming to terms. Gillian and I are signed on. We're ready to go. Chris and Fox are slugging it out.

I had heard the Carter Family's music, but I didn't realize how much they were responsible for creating. Their story is quite amazing, filled with humor and heart and emotional roller coaster rides.

I just laughed (at Bradley's claims). I don't believe in that. People always think badly about Kent because he doesn't talk a lot. Like he said, ask Joe Carter about him. He's just a quiet person that likes to be alone.

Chris Carter is just a fantastic guy, I have enjoyed working for him, immensely. I loved this character. I don't think I can say enough about Chris. It's just a fantastic thing that he's created and I'm so thrilled that I've been a part of it. I'm very grateful.

Chip Carter admits that he's guilty of these crimes, ... Mr. Carter killed Liz Reed, her daughter, Courtney, and Glenn Pafford. ... You don't have to figure out who did it.

He's even trotted out the old term 'misery index.' The problem is that by Senator Kerry's definition, things got better during the Carter years, and then got worse during the Reagan-Bush years.

I am not saying Rubin Carter was guilty. I am saying he was very likely guilty.

If I hadn't gotten on base and Molitor singled, Carter wouldn't have gotten the pitch he got to hit period. Mitch Williams was worried about me stealing third base with one out. He tried to get the ball to the plate with a slider. He hung it, and Joe hit it out of the park.

If I had my brother's height, I wouldn't just dunk. I'd be doing some through-the-legs Vince Carter stuff.

I don't like anything that interferes with the existing church or Carter property flat out. to me, we're really looking at option two.

Carter wants the ball. He worked hard tonight. Corey Sims as always worked hard. On the two goals, he can't be doing everything.

Carter's approach is to try to decide what was best for the nation. He was trained as an engineer - his approach was to study a problem and reach his own conclusions and proceed. It's Carter being Carter.

Carter has become a weapon for us with his kicks.

Carter did a good job roaming the middle. South Laurel won the state last year because they play great defense. We knew they would double Brian. When they did, we had to dive to the basket, and that's what Clay did, and we did a good job getting him the ball.

Carter can pitch a couple innings at a time, which is intriguing, and he's also closed games. It takes a special character to be able to do that, a mindset and willingness. He was successful at it and that tells me a lot about his makeup.

I believe Sadat was an outstanding statesman, and Mister Begin raised to the occasion, and President Carter did an outstanding job -- worked hard day in and day out to overcome differences.

It was not malaise we suffered from; it was Jimmy Carter - and Walter Mondale.

You can't argue with math, Carter. You'll always lose.

I was willing to do anything that Chris Carter wrote.

These guys don't play it at a level like a Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady or myself,

The Carter Center has been monitoring elections down here for more than 12 years, ... This one was almost perfect.

Everybody ought to listen to Benny [Carter]. He's a whole musical education.

Stylistically speaking, Barack Obama could hardly be further from Jimmy Carter if he really had been born in Kenya.

Amy Carter loved to bake her own cookies.

I'm going to stay active as long as I can politically, and with the Carter Center primarily, and if I'm able mentally and physically, will continue to be quite active.

The Democrats never fight about who is more like Jimmy Carter.

Why are they so sad?” I asked. “Well, they’re dead,” Carter speculated.

The first thing we pulled out was a lump of white gunk. “Wax,” Carter pronounced. “Fascinating.

No one can sing like June Carter so I just tried to sing my very best.

Liberals are constantly wrong. In fact, that's how you rise to the top in liberalism, by being wrong. If you are wrong, and if you are consistently wrong, it's even better. You're really one of them if you're really wrong all the time. Look at Jimmy Carter.

The Billy Carter of the British monarchy.

[Carter just asked when I became a ram whisperer. Do shut up, Carter]

I'm looking for a president that'll be like a Ronald Reagan to a Jimmy Carter.

Carter is the best President the Soviet Union ever had.

No doubt the ridiculous politicians are right to like politics. They have found careers in which success can be achieved by being ridiculous. Imagine Jimmy Carter or George W. Bush rising to the top of any other profession.

Jimmy Carter was - he still - he remains to this day America's most ex of ex-presidents. You just can't believe that we elected this doofus. He was a bright enough guy and sort of well-meaning. But he was about as prepared to be president of the United States as your goofy old uncle, you know, the one that memorises baseball statistics.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.
