More quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
In life it isn't what you've lost, it's what you've got left that counts
Hubert H. Humphrey
Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.
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
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. Professional liberals want the fiery debate. They glory in defeat. The hardest job for a politician today is to have the courage to be a moderate. It's easy to take an extreme position.
Hubert H. Humphrey
I've never thought my speeches were too long I've rather enjoyed them.
Hubert H. Humphrey
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
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
What you do, what each of us does, has an effect on the country, the state, the nation, and the world.
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
We will have to decide today whether we will design the future or resign ourselves to it.
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.
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
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
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Much of our American progress has been the product of the individual who had an idea pursued it fashioned it tenaciously clung to it against all odds and then produced it, sold it, and profited from it.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Though everyone has an equal right to speak, not all have earned an equal right to be taken seriously.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Hubert H. Humphrey
The ugliness of bigotry stands in direct contradiction to the very meaning of America.
Hubert H. Humphrey
There are those who say to you - we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.
