More quotes by 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
It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
Every program that ever helped working people, from rural electrification to Medicare, was enacted by liberals over the opposition of conservatives. When people tell me they don't like liberals, I ask, Do you like Social Security? If so, then shut up!
George McGovern
My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'
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
Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
Don't throw away your conscience.
George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
When I was in the war, I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.
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
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
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
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
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
Everyone is exposed to economic risks of some kind.
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
