Totally random collection of Hubert Humphrey quotes, don't ask why, prolly has to do with sangria

• Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
  
  
• For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end.
  
  
• Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.
  
  
• I have seen in the Halls of Congress more idealism, more humanness, more compassion, more profiles of courage than in any other institution that I have ever known.
  
  
• I learned more about the economy from one South Dakota dust storm that I did in all my years of college.
  
  
• It is not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.
  
  
• Never answer a question from a farmer.
  
  
• The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.
  
  
• The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
  
  
• The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a master-architect; in execution, the labors of many.
  
  
• The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.
  
  
• There are not enough jails, not enough police, not enough courts to enforce a law not supported by the people.
  
  
• There are those who say to you - we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.
  
  
• 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.
