More quotes by 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 am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
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
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
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
We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost
George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.
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
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 always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
George McGovern
One of the sharp parallels is that neither Vietnam nor Iraq was the slightest threat to America's national security.
George McGovern
My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'
George McGovern
When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.
George McGovern
I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
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
Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
