More quotes by George McGovern

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

George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
We are at a crossroads over how the federal government in Washington and state legislatures and city councils across the land allocate their financial resources. Which fork we take will say a lot about Americans and our values.
George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.
George McGovern
I flew a full string of 35 combat missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in Europe. We were hitting Hitler's oil refineries, his tank factories, his aircraft factories, his railway yards. Those were our prime targets.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
