Famous quotes by Paul Wellstone:

"I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party."

"I think this is really a good example of the commercial calculus and ties taking precedence over everything else. It's sort of like the almighty dollar is triumphing over a lot of other values that we have as a nation."

"I think we can do better. That is what Robert Kennedy always said. I think we can do better too. Won't you join me in the effort?"

"Right now the whole does not equal the sum of the parts."

"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak."

"I'm from the Democratic party-wing of the Democratic Party"

"There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy, grassroots organizing and electoral politics."

"The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power."

"A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail."

"Politics isn't about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives"

"Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine."

"The idea of democracy has been stripped of it moral imperatives and come to denote hollowness and hypocrisy."

"Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future."

"The American polity is infected with a serious imbalance of power between elites and masses, a power which is the principal threat to our democracy."

"What the poor, the weak, and the inarticulate desperately require is power, organization, and a sense of identity and purpose, not rarefied advice of political scientists."

"I was talking about no nukes, the farm crisis. People said that wasn't stuff that a state auditor was supposed to be talking about. Maybe they were right."

"As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level."

"I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines."

"Why don't we call on the credit card companies to be accountable? They need to be held accountable for their predatory lending practices."

"Successful organizing is based on the recognition that people get organized because they, too, have a vision."
