Hubert H. Humphrey
And it is to these rights - the right of law and order, the right of life, the right of liberty, the right of a job, the right of a home in a decent neighborhood, and the right to an education - it is to these rights that I pledge my life and whatever capacity and ability I have.
Hubert H. Humphrey

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.
