If the Senator can find in Title VII any language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion, or national origin, I will start eating the pages one after another, because it is not in there.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Peace is not passive, it is active. Peace is not appeasement, it is strength. Peace does not 'happen,' it requires work.
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
The gap between the rich and the poor is the most dangerous threat to world peace we have.
Hubert H. Humphrey
We will be remembered not for the power of our weapons but for the power of our compassion, our dedication to human welfare.
Hubert H. Humphrey
We can not expect to breed respect for law and order among people who do not share the fruits of our freedom.
