Famous quotes by George McGovern:

"When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota, we never referred to the national debt, it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I."

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

"Now, I simply do what I want."

"I have to have a passion in my life."

"I move ahead, I live."

"I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth."

"It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well."

"People didn't have the political guts to stand up against an American war."

"Politics is an act of faith; you have to show some kind of confidence in the intellectual and moral capacity of the public."

"I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be."

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

"As an American, I want our forces to prevail."

"I've enjoyed myself 90 percent of the time."

"At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early."

"No man should advocate a course in private that he's ashamed to admit in public."

"I have a very deep concern about President Obama putting in another 21,000 troops into Afghanistan with the promise of more to come."

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

"You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia."

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

"For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security."
