More quotes by 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
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
George McGovern
It doesn t require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed it won t be U.S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the Senate.
George McGovern
There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.
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
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
George McGovern
It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
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
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'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.
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
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
Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.
George McGovern
If you're Iran's minister of defense, I think you'd try to develop at least one nuclear weapon to save yourself from what happened to Iraq.
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
You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.
George McGovern
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
George McGovern
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
George McGovern
