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
Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.

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
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.
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
I learned more about the economy from one South Dakota dust storm that I did in all my years of college.
Hubert H. Humphrey
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
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
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
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
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
