Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.
From Hubert H. Humphrey
There are incalculable resources in the human spirit, once it has been set free.
Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.
This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.
