More quotes by George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
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
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
My dad was a Methodist minister.
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

Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
George McGovern
To those who charge that liberalism has been tried and found wanting, I answer that the failure is not in the idea, but in the course of recent history. The New Deal was ended by World War II. The New Frontier was closed by Berlin and Cuba almost before it was opened. And the Great Society lost its greatness in the jungles of Indochina.
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 am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.
George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.
George McGovern
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
George McGovern
