More quotes by George McGovern
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'
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
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
Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
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
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern

George McGovern
Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.
George McGovern
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
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
I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.
George McGovern
I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court.
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
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
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
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
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
