Dick Gephardt Quotes

I grew up in a household that was a labor household. My dad was a Teamster and a milk truck driver. My mother was a secretary. Neither of them got through high school. But they worked hard and they gave me very, very important opportunities to go to school, get a good education Picture Quote #1

What we have is two important values in conflict: freedom of speech and our desire for healthy campaigns in a healthy democracy. You can’t have both Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed as a value that the government has a vital - not overwhelming, but vital - role to play in furthering human welfare and good. I think we have an important supportive role to play, hopefully intelligent and sensible Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can be a good listener unless you’re a good listener. I think it’s something that you really have to do, and if you really do it, then you can do it. If you don’t do it, then you can’t do it Picture Quote #1

Those who have prospered and profited from life’s lottery have a moral obligation to share their good fortune Picture Quote #1

You don’t lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time. And then if the income really comes in the way you hope it does, then you can make some of those expenditures that you’ve been waiting to make. We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America Picture Quote #1

In 1993, as House Democratic Leader, I led the fight to pass the Clinton-Gore economic plan - a plan designed to slash the deficit, invest in education, cut taxes for working families, and ask the wealthy among us to pay their fair share... Not one Republican voted for that plan. They said it was a job killer Picture Quote #1

Democracy is interactive... It’s a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication Picture Quote #1

My healthcare plan puts more money into average families’ pockets than the Bush tax cuts... He’s got a lousy tax cut. It’s only good for the super wealthy. I’ve got a tax cut that will help ordinary people Picture Quote #1

I had the honor to meet Nelson Mandela, and I heard him explain his forgiveness of his captors of 27 years by saying hatred and bitterness is destructive - the power is in love and forgiveness Picture Quote #1

My mother used to say, ‘You gotta exercise.’ She would really pound on me to exercise every day. She was very physically fit; she was on the basketball team in high school in St. Louis in the 1920s, when women didn’t do that. And she taught me to play tennis, taught me to walk and run, and I ran for 30 years pretty religiously Picture Quote #1

Why would we want to keep a tax cut that’s failed? Why would we not want to go back to the Clinton tax code? And why would we not want to help every family more with a health-care plan like mine? Let’s help average people. Let’s be Democrats Picture Quote #1

I was raised in a working class family of Baptist faith, and I went to college on a church scholarship where early teachings were reinforced. Abortion was wrong, I was taught Picture Quote #1

I think in some cases busing did improve the situation in some areas; in some cases it didn’t. We had busing in St. Louis, and it has been ended and we are using other methods of trying to better integrate the schools Picture Quote #1

I led the fight for the Clinton health care plan in 1994. We failed. I learned from that experience. What I learned is you can’t pass a complicated government-run plan Picture Quote #1

I have been a long and strong supporter of civil rights in my whole career. I led the fight to get the voting rights act re-enacted. I have been a strong supporter of affirmative action. I believe in it strongly Picture Quote #1

When I’m president, we’ll have executive orders to overcome any wrong thing the Supreme Court does tomorrow or any other day Picture Quote #1

I filed a brief as a friend of the court in the U. of Michigan to keep affirmative action at the U. of Michigan, which I attended the law school. And I was one of the original sponsors of making the Martin Luther King birthday a federal holiday Picture Quote #1

We can see beyond the present shadows of war in the Middle East to a new world order where the strong work together to deter and stop aggression. This was precisely Franklin Roosevelt’s and Winston Churchill’s vision for peace for the post-war period Picture Quote #1

In 1988, as an unknown candidate, totally unknown, I won Iowa, came in second in New Hampshire, won South Dakota. I was ahead in every Super Tuesday state the day after South Dakota. The only problem was I didn’t have enough money. I had a million dollars left, and Al Gore had three and Michael Dukakis had three and it was lights out Picture Quote #1

Al Gore is a good man. He is a decent, caring man. He listens to his heart and his head. He loves his family Picture Quote #1

Like father, like son, four years and this president is done Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had good energy; I’ve always had good health Picture Quote #1

Life is the division of human cells, a process which begins at conception Picture Quote #1

Democracy is interactive... Its a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication Picture Quote #1

I hope we can get back to what I call the kitchen table. Everyday issues that people are really worried about and focused on Picture Quote #1

This president is a miserable failure on foreign policy and on the economy and he’s got to be replaced Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can be a good listener unless you’re a good listener. I think it’s something that you really have to do, and if you really do it, then you can do it. If you don’t do it, then you can’t do it Picture Quote #1

America is a great country. We are so wealthy. But our one remaining challenge is to fulfill the potential of all our people. And the only way we can do that is to try to bring everybody together to a higher place Picture Quote #1
