I didn’t used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn’t enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I’d get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day Picture Quote #1

The earth has enough knowledge and resources to eradicate this ancient scourge. Hunger has plagued the world for thousands of years.

We have the ability to provide food for all within the next three decades Picture Quote #1

I’m constantly meeting people who said that they cast their first vote for me, or that they cut their eye teeth on the 1972 campaign, or that they didn’t vote for me but admire my positions Picture Quote #1

So, I think that’s the centerpiece of morality: Don’t lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is Picture Quote #1

Of all the men that have run for president in the twentieth century, only George McGovern truly understood what a monument America could be to the human race Picture Quote #1
