I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'

You cannot in human experience rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.

I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it and apply more energy and time to it and more consistency you get a better result. It comes from the work.

The great awareness comes slowly piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.

Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience.

Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Judgment comes from experience - and experience comes from bad judgment.

Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.

Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people and that's not where equality comes from.

Equal pay isn't just a women's issue when women get equal pay their family incomes rise and the whole family benefits.

This Bush administration has a growing credibility gap maybe even a credibility chasm on environmental policy. The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment.

No one does a better cleaner or environmental friendlier than the United States when it comes to drilling for oil gas coal oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.

It is one of the issues that will have to be worked through however let me make the point and I think anyone would accept that if you set it up properly not only will you get better environmental outcomes you have a chance to create more wealth with the available resource.

Education has fundamentally changed my life. It's perhaps the mission of my life. I'm wed to it in a very powerful and personal way. And I chose the pathway that I believe could make me the most significant on changing the outcomes that we see now in North Carolina.

And really the basis I think of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother's push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

Americans are a decade behind Canada when it comes to sex education and understanding their bodies.

For me I am left leaning when it comes to health and education on the right when it comes to defense. So I don't know where I come on the political spectrum. And I think this the challenge that a lot of Jordanians have to deal with.

Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing has no education no money lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another through sheer force of will he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country.

You can't legislate good will - that comes through education.

Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education health care political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation.
