Quotes By the 39th President of the United States

“We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.”

“Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.”

"The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation."

“We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.”

“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.”

“God always answers prayers. Sometimes it's 'yes'. Sometimes the answer is 'no'. Sometimes it's 'you gotta be kidding'."

Rest in Peace, Jimmy Carter (October 1, 1924 – December 29, 2024)

Interesting that that mosaic quote is how Canadians have distinguished ourselves from the American melting pot.

How we don't expect Immigrants to check their culture at the door (even though WASPs were not expected to).

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I share the Canadian (and Carter's) view of immigrants and the way they enrich life in their adopted country.
