More quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
The ugliness of bigotry stands in direct contradiction to the very meaning of America.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
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
I've never thought my speeches were too long I've rather enjoyed them.
Hubert H. Humphrey
We cannot use a double standard for measuring our own and other people's policies. Our demands for democratic practices in other lands will be no more effective than the guarantees of those practiced in our own country.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.
Hubert H. Humphrey
More progress results from the violent execution of an imperfect plan than the perfection of a plan to violently execute.
Hubert H. Humphrey

Hubert H. Humphrey
The measure of a civilization is how it treats those at the dawn of life, the margins of life and the twilight of life.
Hubert H. Humphrey

Hubert H. Humphrey
The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The President is the peoples lobbyist.
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
The gap between the rich and the poor is the most dangerous threat to world peace we have.
Hubert H. Humphrey
None of us would trade freedom of expression for the narrowness of the public censor. America is a free market for people who have something to say, and need not fear to say it.
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
You cannot tell a poor boy from a small country town on the plains of South Dakota who has had the opportunity to be a teacher, a mayor, a senator, and a vice president, that America is not a nation of promise.
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
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
