Today's quotes are from President Jimmy Carter in honor of his National Day of Mourning (additional reading).
On Finding Purpose
“I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. I’m free to choose that something. That something—the something that I’ve chosen—is my faith. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have, to try to make a difference.”
(As quoted by his niece Kim Fuller during a February 19, 2023, prayer service)
On Community Service
“I have learned that our greatest blessings come when we are able to improve the lives of others, and this is especially true when those others are desperately poor or in need.”
(From an interview with Habitat for Humanity)
