The history of the labor movement needs to be taught in every school in this land. America is a living testimonial to what free men and women, organized in free democratic trade unions can do to make a better life. We ought to be proud of it!
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
Peace is not passive, it is active. Peace is not appeasement, it is strength. Peace does not 'happen,' it requires work.
Hubert H. Humphrey
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.
