Hubert H. Humphrey

We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.

It is not enough to merely defend democracy. To defend it may be to lose it; to extend it is to strengthen it. Democracy is not property; it is an idea.

Unfortunately, our affluent society has also been an effluent society.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
