I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.

I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee.

I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.

Above all, being a Democrat means having compassion for others. ... It means standing up for people who have been kept down.

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

Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.
