More quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
Foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.
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
There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone - who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Our greatest songs are still unsung.
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.

Hubert H. Humphrey
Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other isms, it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.
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
The ugliness of bigotry stands in direct contradiction to the very meaning of America.
Hubert H. Humphrey
You cannot tell a poor boy from a small country town on the plains of South Dakota who has had the opportunity to be a teacher, a mayor, a senator, and a vice president, that America is not a nation of promise.
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
More progress results from the violent execution of an imperfect plan than the perfection of a plan to violently execute.
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
There can be no compromise on the right of personal security there can be no compromise on securing of human rights.
Hubert H. Humphrey
