More quotes by George McGovern
Everyone is exposed to economic risks of some kind.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
George McGovern
I didn't know a damned thing about mental illness and neither did anyone around me.
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
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
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
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
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
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
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
George McGovern
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
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
