More quotes by Sargent Shriver
I can remember at college, living on 30-cent meals.
Sargent Shriver
The Peace Corps represents some, if not all, of the best virtues in this society. It stands for everything that America has ever stood for. It stands for everything we believe in and hope to achieve in the world.

Sargent Shriver

Christian virtues unite men. Racism separates them.
Sargent Shriver
When Roosevelt came along, I approved of his program, generally. I figured an economic system should work for people, not vice versa.
Sargent Shriver

Sargent Shriver
It is well to be prepared for life as it is, but it is better to be prepared to make life better than it is.
Sargent Shriver
It is precisely our job as Catholics to speak the truth as plainly and precisely as we can.
Sargent Shriver
Shatter the glass. In our society that is so self-absorbed, begin to look less at yourself and more at each other. Learn more about the face of your neighbor and less about your own.
Sargent Shriver
Respect for another man's opinion is worthy. It is the realization that any opinion is valuable, for it is the sign of a rational being.
Sargent Shriver
It's the most rewarding thing to be a civil servant.
Sargent Shriver
If a young person has any idealism at all, it's strongest about the time he finishes college.
