Famous quotes containing the word president:

    Within us, the people of the United States, there is evident a serious and purposeful rekindling of confidence, and I join in the hope that when my time as your President has ended, people might say this about our Nation: That we had remembered the words of Micah and renewed our search for humility, mercy, and justice.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
