More quotes by George McGovern
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
George McGovern
When I was small, my most serious handicap was a painful bashfulness in the presence of strangers.
George McGovern
For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.
George McGovern
I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
George McGovern
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
George McGovern
We are at a crossroads over how the federal government in Washington and state legislatures and city councils across the land allocate their financial resources. Which fork we take will say a lot about Americans and our values.
George McGovern
Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.
George McGovern
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
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
Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
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
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
George McGovern
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
George McGovern
For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.
George McGovern
I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket.
George McGovern
It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.
George McGovern
I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.
George McGovern
My dad was a Methodist minister.
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
Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.
George McGovern
