What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.
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
The President has only 190 million bosses. The Vice President has 190 million and one.
Hubert H. Humphrey

Hubert H. Humphrey
I learned more about the economy from one South Dakota dust storm that I did in all my years of college.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadows of states rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights
Hubert H. Humphrey
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Like many things in our national life, we miscalculated. We overestimated our ability to control events, which is one of the great dangers of a great power. Power tends to be a substitute for judgment and wisdom.
Hubert H. Humphrey
I have seen in the Halls of Congress more idealism, more humanness, more compassion, more profiles of courage than in any other institution that I have ever known.
Hubert H. Humphrey
