More quotes by George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.
George McGovern
Pay attention to the hungry, both in this country and around the world. Pay attention to the poor. Pay attention to our responsibilities for world peace. We are our brother's keeper.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern
I didn't used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn't enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I'd get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost
George McGovern
Ever since I was a young man, I wanted to run for the presidency in the worst possible way - and I did.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
George McGovern
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
George McGovern
Every once in a while, I run into somebody who tells me that she met her husband in my campaign or a husband who says, I met my wife. I have to tell you, I caused a few divorces too.
George McGovern
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
George McGovern
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
George McGovern
When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
We seem bent upon saving the Vietnamese from Ho Chi Minh, even if we have to kill them and demolish their country to do it....I do not intend to remain silent in the face of what I regard as a policy of madness which, sooner or later, will envelop my son and American youth by the millions for years to come.
George McGovern
Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
George McGovern
