Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or carter:

    If the justices would only retire when they have become burdens to the court itself, or when they recognize themselves that their faculties have become impaired, I would grieve sincerely when they passed away, and you would not feel like such a hypocrite as you do when you are going through the formality of sending telegrams of condolence and giving out interviews for propriety’s sake.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    I have come to realize that in every person there is something fine and pure and noble, along with a desire for self-fulfillment.
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
