“I would like people to remember that I kept the peace when I was president and I worked for peace, that I espoused human rights in its broadest definition, not only freedom of speech but freedom of assembly, freedom of worship and trial by jury but also the right of people for people to have a decent home to live, food to eat, employment, healthcare, self respect, dignity. So I think the broad gamut of human rights, peace and freedom. I would like to be remembered for those things to the degree that I deserve it and I still have a long way to go.” PeopleThinkingWayHumansLongStillsSelfHomeRememberPresidentRightsSpeechDegreesWorshipDeserveDignityHuman RightsDefinitionsTrialsEmploymentRememberedDecentSelf RespectBroadsHealthcareFreedom Of SpeechLong WayJuryAssemblyLong Way To GoTrial By JuryFreedom Of Assembly Author:Jimmy Carter

“When I look in the mirror, I am slightly reminded of self-portraits by Durer and by Rembrandt, because they both show a degree of introspection. I see some element of disappointment; I see a sense of humour, but also something that is faintly ridiculous; and I see somebody who is frightened of being found out and thought lightweight.” LooksSelfShowsFoundHumourDegreesElementsMirrorsDisappointmentRidiculousFrightenedPortraitsIntrospectionSelf Portrait Author:Robert Winston
“If the heart be chiefly and directly fixed on God, and the soul engaged to glorify him, some degree of religious affection will be the effect and attendant of it. But to seek after affection directly and chiefly; to have the heart principally set upon that; is to place it in the room of God and his glory. If it be sought, that others may take notice of it, and admire us for our spirituality and forwardness in religion, it is then damnable pride; if for the sake of feeling the pleasure of being affected, it is then idolatry and self-gratification.” IfsHeartMaySoulSelfFeelingsSpiritualityReligiousPleasureRoomsEffectsPrideDegreesGlorySakeAffectionAdmireFixedEngagedAffectedGratificationIdolatryGlorifySelf Gratification Book:David Brainerd: his life and diary Source: David Brainerd: his life and diary
