Hubert H. Humphrey
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
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

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
We will have to decide today whether we will design the future or resign ourselves to it.
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.
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
