More quotes by George McGovern

George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern

George McGovern
Don't throw away your conscience.
George McGovern

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
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern

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
The longer the title, the less important the job.
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
