Jimmy Carter Quotes
In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.

We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
