Hubert H. Humphrey
In life it isn't what you've lost, it's what you've got left that counts
Hubert H. Humphrey
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.

There are those who say to you - we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.
Hubert H. Humphrey
And it is to these rights - the right of law and order, the right of life, the right of liberty, the right of a job, the right of a home in a decent neighborhood, and the right to an education - it is to these rights that I pledge my life and whatever capacity and ability I have.
Hubert H. Humphrey

What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.
Hubert H. Humphrey
You cannot go around and keep score. If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you'll find out that you're a very miserable person. God gave man the ability to forget, which is one of the greatest attributes you have. Because if you remember everything that's happened to you, you generally remember that which is the most unfortunate.
Hubert H. Humphrey
If today there is a proper American sphere of influence it is this fragile sphere called earth upon which all men live and share a common fate--a sphere where our influence must be for peace and justice.
Hubert H. Humphrey
There are incalculable resources in the human spirit, once it has been set free.
Hubert H. Humphrey
There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone - who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The gap between the rich and the poor is the most dangerous threat to world peace we have.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true.
Hubert H. Humphrey
You can't hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles
Hubert H. Humphrey
Though everyone has an equal right to speak, not all have earned an equal right to be taken seriously.
Hubert H. Humphrey
