More quotes by 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

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

George McGovern
Come home to the affirmation that we have a dream. Come home to the conviction that we can move our country forward. Come home to the belief that we can seek a newer world. And let us be joyful in the homecoming.
George McGovern

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
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
George McGovern
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
George McGovern
The longer the title, the less important the job.
George McGovern
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
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 a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
George McGovern
A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.
George McGovern
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
George McGovern
