Famous quotes containing the words internal, problems and/or controversy:

    A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.

    The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.

    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
