At the August 30, 1979 ceremony, Carter made these remarks:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In breaking ground for the William R. Cannon Chapel and Religious Center, we honor the things in life that are most precious, things that cannot be seen and which cannot be measured. We can measure the grandeur of a person’s house or the size of a bank account or the acreage of one’s land, or how fast one’s net worth increases each year. We tend to dwell too much on such things, for they tell us very little about the real meaning of life. For that, we must turn to things which cannot be seen or which cannot be measured, to things like honesty, integrity, the strength of conscience, the love of God, service to others, humility, wisdom.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3511″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n
