George McGovern

I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.

I have to have a passion in my life.

The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.

Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'

My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'

The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.

Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills.

I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.

I hope someday we will be able to proclaim that we have banished hunger in the United States, and that we've been able to bring nutrition and health to the whole world.

I think it was my study of history that convinced me that the Democratic Party was more on the side of the average American.
