More quotes by George McGovern
Every Senator in this Chamber is partly responsible for sending 50,000 young Americans to an early grave. This Chamber reeks of blood.
George McGovern
When I was in the war, I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.
George McGovern
It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.
George McGovern
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
If you're Iran's minister of defense, I think you'd try to develop at least one nuclear weapon to save yourself from what happened to Iraq.
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 make one pledge above all others - to seek and speak the truth with all the resources of mind and spirit I command.
George McGovern
I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.
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
It would be a good time to replace the drug war with something more constructive. The cure offered the drug war today has probably been more harmful and done more damage than the disease.
George McGovern
For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
George McGovern
I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.
George McGovern
Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.
George McGovern
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
George McGovern
I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern
The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.
George McGovern
