Our greatest songs are still unsung.
Hubert H. Humphrey
I had no money to buy books, so between classes and work, I haunted the library. I even tutored in French with a sliding scale of payment: twenty dollars for an A, fifteen for a B, ten for a C, five for a D.

To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.
Hubert H. Humphrey

Hubert H. Humphrey
We live by hope. We do not ever get all we want when we want it. But we have to believe that someday, somehow, some way, it will be better and that we can make it so.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The road to freedom, here and everywhere, begins in the classroom.
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
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
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
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 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
It is all too easy for a society to measure itself against some abstract philosophical principle or political slogan. But in the end, there must remain the question: What kind of life is one society providing to the people that live in 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
