More quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
The ugliness of bigotry stands in direct contradiction to the very meaning of America.
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
The President is the peoples lobbyist.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Hubert H. Humphrey
We will have to decide today whether we will design the future or resign ourselves to it.
Hubert H. Humphrey
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
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
Though everyone has an equal right to speak, not all have earned an equal right to be taken seriously.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The gap between the rich and the poor is the most dangerous threat to world peace we have.

To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
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
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Hubert H. Humphrey
History teaches us that the great revolutions aren't started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better - and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.
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
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
Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other isms, it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.
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
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
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
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?
