More quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
We will have to decide today whether we will design the future or resign ourselves to it.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Hubert H. Humphrey
As we begin to comprehend that the earth itself is a kind of manned spaceship hurtling through the infinity of space ~ it will seem increasingly absurd that we have not better organized the life of the human family.
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 I believe in something, I will fight for it with all I have. But I do not demand all or nothing. I would rather get something than nothing. Professional liberals want the fiery debate. They glory in defeat. The hardest job for a politician today is to have the courage to be a moderate. It's easy to take an extreme position.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.
Hubert H. Humphrey
This is the first generation in all of recorded history that can do something about the scourge of poverty. We have the means to do it. We can banish hunger from the face of the earth.
Hubert H. Humphrey
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
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
It is better to gain a foot than to stand still, even when you seek to gain a mile.
Hubert H. Humphrey
I am absolutely disgusted that anyone would put thousands of America's boys at risk just to win a Political Campaign.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.
Hubert H. Humphrey
You can always debate about what you should have done. The question is what are you going to do?
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
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
We can not expect to breed respect for law and order among people who do not share the fruits of our freedom.
Hubert H. Humphrey
What you do, what each of us does, has an effect on the country, the state, the nation, and the world.
Hubert H. Humphrey
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
The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a mater-architect in execution, the labors of many.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.
Hubert H. Humphrey
