More quotes by 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
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 live by hope. We do not ever get all we want when we want it. But we have to believe that someday, somehow, some way, it will be better and that we can make it so.
Hubert H. Humphrey
What do we want for people? Human dignity, personal expression and fulfillment, justice, freedom.
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
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
In life it isn't what you've lost, it's what you've got left that counts
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
Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Hubert Humphrey with kidsBe clear where America stands. Human brotherhood and equal opportunity for every man, woman, and child, we are committed to it, in America and around the world.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The ugliness of bigotry stands in direct contradiction to the very meaning of America.
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
What you do, what each of us does, has an effect on the country, the state, the nation, and the world.
Hubert H. Humphrey
You can't hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles
Hubert H. Humphrey
What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.
Hubert H. Humphrey
If today there is a proper American sphere of influence it is this fragile sphere called earth upon which all men live and share a common fate--a sphere where our influence must be for peace and justice.
Hubert H. Humphrey
