More quotes by George McGovern
Everyone is exposed to economic risks of some kind.
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 seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.
George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
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
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
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
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
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
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
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
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
George McGovern
My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'
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
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
